Small bale wrapping

Small bales are a popular choice with equestrian owners and smallholders, offering easy handling and convenient feeding. We can wrap small bales either in the field or at a static location such as your yard, giving you the flexibility to fit wrapping around your operation. Wrapped small bales preserve quality through the winter months, making them a practical and reliable forage option whatever the season.
