Why not let them dry out inside a barn? I’d imagine leaving them out, exposed to the elements, would allow for a higher likelihood of fodder becoming mouldy?

I sell Hay as one of my business, typically all hey is cut and raked and allowed to dry before being baled. Where it gets different is what type of animals are going to be eating the hay. For horses, they have to be stored inside, so it doesn’t mold etc which can cause problems for a horse to colic. Typically the round bales you see stored in the field are left in the field to feed cows, and they typically do that throughout the winter. But horse quality hay is 100% stored in barns where is allowed to finish Curing and is safe to store and feed. Hay also heats up tremendously during the drying process as well
