Round bales sometimes get a bad rep as a feeding option for horses, but with proper management they can be a great option. Kentucky Performance Products has developed an infographic to illustrate.

When baled and stored properly, round bales are no more prone to growing bacteria or mold than square bales. If you decide to feed round bales to your horses, be sure to purchase them from a reputable dealer who has cut and stored the hay properly.
