round bale
Rolled-up cattle fodder
A round bale is a large cylindrical bundle of hay, straw, or silage, typically four to six feet in diameter and weighing several hundred pounds.
Created by specialized machinery that rolls and compresses the material, round bales are easier to produce than traditional rectangular bales and shed water better when stored outdoors: The field was dotted with round bales after the harvest.
