Hay Balers Hay Balers Balers are machines that scoop up grass or alfalfa after it has been cut. They then form hay bales by compressing the grass and tying it with a string.
Hay bales can be either round or square.
After the hay is baled it can be moved into a hay stack or a barn for storage. When winter comes and there is no grass in the pasture, a farmer or rancher can then feed the hay to horses, cattle and elk. Click here to find out more about hay.
