As one that baled hay using New Idea cutter and balers string tied, (we had horses and Angus). Our Bales were 3'x 18"x 15" this is a standard bale. Those fields we sold we made into big square bales, easier to ship and usually sold to stock buyers and dad before it closed, shipped to Chicago Stockyard were measure 8'x4'x3' bales. The last 2 years we baled, we did go to round bales for just cattle, since round bales were usually stored outside, and molded easier, we never used or sold them for horse consumption. Moldy hay was and could be deadly for horses.
