For the first 1/2 of the winter, I was moving round bales into the dry lot one at a time. Pretty muddy but doable. I ran out of hay mid-winter so for the second load, as I unloaded them, I placed them in the dry lot so that I could selectively move fence and offer a new round when the prior one was used up. A much better idea and no need to fire up the tractor. I used electric for a while, but I have one darn calf that seems to know how to use her horns to move the wire. 4,000 volts in it but she still gets around the wire. So I used the cattle panels from my round pen and that kept them out of the new hay.
Horses get a round bale and I supplement with some alfalfa squares in their own dry lot, with access to their stalls.
