haybale

Tied dried grass

A haybale is a compact bundle of dried grass or other fodder, bound with twine or wire for storage and transport.

Haybales feed livestock through winter or serve as building material, seating, and decoration—especially at fall festivals and harvest celebrations.

We stacked haybales in the barn before the first frost.
