Hay And Storage Options Like Hay Tarps
For many livestock owners, the way in which to feed your livestock may be of some concern. Livestock can include many domestic animals like horse and sheep to cows, oxen, steer and even bison. Most if not all of these animals live off of some sort of grass or hay. Although there are different types of hay, some not even being a grass (like Alfalfa) the way in which these hays ought to be stored is important regardless of type. Hay tarps can be useful in protecting your hay.
Hay must be protected by the elements to maintain freshness. Sun can bleach the hay out which depletes its nutrients. Water can cause a hay to mold. Although some hay eating animals can digest moldy hay (like cows), some will become sick if they do eat it (like horses). A bale of hay can range anywhere from 100 lbs to 6000 lbs. Depending on how many bales need to be protected, a large sheltered area will be needed. The hay tarps and shelter can be provided in many ways.
Of course sheds and compounds of one kind or another can get the job done however these can be pricey. One cheaper alternative is the hay tarp. Tarp is actually an informal word for "tarpaulin" which can be defined as a protective cover of material that has been waterproofed with tar, paint, or wax.

Depending on the amount of hay that needs protecting, the sizes can grow rather large. The price will depend on the size and can range from about 100 dollars to several hundred dollars. However, when compared to pricier alternatives, the hay tarp provides necessary protection for the hay that will feed your livestock.
