Safe Stacking of Round Silage Bales
Stacking round bales on-end can lead to unstable stacks that can collapse without warning. There is NO scientific evidence that stacking on end is better than conventional storage. Stay safe and avoid storing round bales on end

Assessing the number of film layers applied to baled silage is essential to ensure correct application. Sufficient layers are required for silage preservation

Filmwrap seal is an assessment of air flow through the filmwrap into a wrapped silage bale. A high film seal value indicates a good seal, leading to good preservation of the forage

    i think its personal preference and i go for on end as it looks much tidier and they don't become all disfigured

    Another issue is mice. On end stack can leave room for cat to do work

      A cat climbing your bales will do more damage than rats and mice 😂

    I stack on end because when I feed out I find they are easier to unroll as they are still round without flat sides

    Stacking on flat is better if you cover bales with net to protect against birds. Flat stacking needs level ground.

    I never thought I would see a HSR advisory on hay bale stacking! 😂 What has the world come to?

    On end is better cause theres more wrap on the end. Simple as that

    Hi Rhun - there is quite a bit of evidence highlighting that in fact we should not stack bales with a DM below 35% due to plastic slippage and associated increase in DM, D and ME losses. Additionally, when we stack bales we get reflection of UV from bales above that causes a thinning of the plastic and localised air entry. Shinners also highlights that bales should always be stored upright due to the higher layer on the end and the reduced adsorption of moisture and associated spoilage in the base.
