You better plan on getting a sharp pocket knife or you can take a flat piece of wood and tape a razor blade on the end and use that - or a busted ear tag cutter works well too. Leaving the net on tends to be easier, but you are taking a risk of the cattle actually swallowing some of the net and causing really bad problems in the digestive tract, not to mention the chance of strangulation. If you can set the bales on the end (flat part) when feeding them, you can find the tail end of the net and just unwrap the bale, doesn't take but just a few seconds to do that, but we put ours out with a spear in the truck, so can hold the bale a few inches of the ground and it is just as easy to cut the net and pull it off before setting the bale on the ground. You will find if you store your hay outside, that with the net on them, you will keep more of the bale intact and it will hold the quality much better than the bales tied with twine.
