lol witch. Just duct tape over it it will be fine.
It will still be fine if you tape it up! its only been exposed a day, and its freezing!
Unfortunately that not true! - The moment air gets into the wrapper the contents start to rot - I lost several bales when my brat of an Anglo 3yr old broke through the fence and bit holes in every one! I could have cried - all my winter feed gone. I taped it up straight away but there were large sections that were disgusting.
I've spent my life duck taping haylage bales and at most lost tiny tiny bits over a winter.

Been doing it forever, no issues, i also feed ad lib with no issues despite 'the internet' telling me otherwise
Could you try tell them on to a riding school or similar, even for a low price at least you won't be losing out completely. I know with the holes they need to be used up pretty quickly but we used 1 square bale each day feeding the horses when I worked at a RS!
Moving the big bales is a problem, unless you have the machinery. They are very heavy, however that's a great idea. When I had my stud running the Brodie's would go through one each week.Could you try tell them on to a riding school or similar, even for a low price at least you won't be losing out completely.

Their comment about not feeding if it had white patches I didn't agree with, I've been led to believe that the white patches are OK, and the only time not to feed is if it smells sour.
