Packaging Options

No matter if you’re needing to maximize your storage space or require ease for hand-feeding, Anderson provides various bale options for your shipment.

350kg

350kg (772lb) 107cm x 76cm x 112cm

The 350kg bale is a large double compressed bale available only with our Straw (Rye grass and fescue) products, and is packaged with plastic sleeves. This bale type is best suited to large-scale feeding needs such as TMR or feed rations, and is a very economical packaging option.

3-Tie

32-64kg (71-141lb) 55cm x 35cm x 111cm

As the traditional, single-compressed bale, 3-Tie is supplied to distributors and users who desire the natural fibers that come from harvesting hay. Single-compressed bales are twice the volume as double-compressed bales. These bales are easy to feed and can be unloaded by hand or forklift.

D/C 1/2 Cut

25-30kg (55-66lb) 53cm x 30cm x 43cm

A modification of the D/C bale, D/C 1/2 Cut is simply one half of the size of our traditional D/C bale. This light bale is perfect for personalized hand feeding.

MINI BALE

33-40kg (73-88lb) 53cm x 41cm x 43cm

A favorite of camel, sheep, and goat ranches, the D/C Mini Bale is a very efficient packaging options for both shipping and feeding. Compressed to accommodate the same weights as the natural 3-tie bale, D/C Mini Bale offers saving in transportation costs and it can be hand fed.

D/C

50-60kg (110-132lb) 53cm x 61cm x 43cm

This traditional, double-compressed export bale is flexible for different handling and loading styles. Either in bulk or Ander-Pak units, D/C is light enough to pick up by hand but heavy enough to maximize container or trucking loads.

110kg Log

100-120kg (220-265lb) 58cm x 116cm x 43cm

This package type (the base unit for D/C, D/C ½ Cut, and D/C Minibale) is consolidated in a double-compressed unit, which means efficient transportation. Feeding with the 110kg log can be dropped off in a field, in a trough, or blended into a ration. Its shape ensures that multiple animals can be fed with minimal stacking and unstacking.
