WHAT IT IS AND WHAT IT DOES
The Big Bale Buddy is a new concept in round bale feeders.
It is available in two sizes: 

1. the small fits bales with a diameter of 120 cms
2. the large fits bales with a diameter of 150 cms

The bag is constructed of heavy-duty, 1500 denier polypropylene, woven so that air and water can easily pass through. Polypropylene (a very tough durable plastic) is a naturally rot and stain resistant material. All seams are double sewn with UV treated polypropylene thread and the elastic in the top is sewn to the bag all the way around and then folded and sewn twice more so that it cannot come loose and become a hazard to your animals.
As the animals eat the hay, the bag slowly collapses, catching all the high nutrition chaff and making it available for your livestock to eat.  At these affordable prices the bag will quickly pay for itself and keep on working to save you money.  

Care
When not in use, the Big Bale Buddy should be shaken clean and then folded/rolled and stored in the convenient storage case provided. If desired, it can be wiped clean with a damp sponge or washed off with a garden hose and hung to dry.  Any wet dirt or manure that sticks to the bag will simply fall off when it dries or will fall off after a few shakes.

How to use
Roll or transport your round bale to where you want to feed it. Stand the bale on a flat end. Remove the string or binding. Hook the elastic opening on one side of the top of the bale and then continue around, hooking it over and tugging it down towards the ground until the Big Bale Buddy completely covers the hay bale like a hat. Now flip the round bale over until it is standing on its other end. Pull the elastic opening up and over the edge all the way around. Your round bale is now ready to feed.
If you use a tractor with forks or a spike the Big Bale Buddy can be put on the bale while it is raised for transport.
Alternatively you can put the Big Bale Buddy on your round bale before moving it to the feeding site.
If you are feeding smaller animals or wish to provide more access to the bale, fold down the upper edge of the bag so that the elastic grips the sides of the bale and the upper edge is exposed.
As the animals eat the hay the bag collapses around it keeping it contained with very minimal wastage. As it nears the end of the bale the animals quickly learn to push the soft folds of polypropylene around with their noses to get the last little bits of hay. When it is empty and ready to re-use, if there is any dirt or manure stuck to it (polypropylene is naturally slippery and repels dirt) pick it up by one edge and give it a few firm shakes to remove.

Folding for storage
Lay the Big Bale Buddy on its side, smooth it flat then fold the bottom up to meet the centre and the elastic down until the outer edges meet the centre. Fold both outer edges in to meet the centre again. Start at one end and roll tightly until you have a cylinder that fits into your carrying bag.
