They also mentioned the bale processor lost the most leaves-when they tested it at Termundae Farms the bale processor fed cows gained quite a bit less also. Bale Processors do make happy dust though and burn up diesel. We tried them here at different times didn't see any benefit to our operation-mind you I hate iron.

Barry Yaremcio with AAF ( formerly AAFRD) did a study on various methods of feeding cattle, including swath grazing, bale processors etc.

The results of the study should be on the AAF website.
