round bales

Tubular fodder bundles

Round bales are large cylindrical bundles of hay, straw, or silage, typically four to six feet in diameter and weighing several hundred pounds.

Unlike traditional rectangular bales handled by hand, round bales require machinery to move and are designed to shed water when left in fields.

The farmer had round bales scattered across the pasture.
