Hay corral?

This may seem like a silly question.

How does everyone store their opened bales of hay so they don't have hay falling all over the barn floor?

When we have open bales we put them in a garden cart.

same here...and if more breaks open I use a large plastic garbage can. And if even more breaks open I pile it next to the stack and use it first.

It gets swept into the piles for use. I thought everyone had little trails of hay that follwed them everywhere.

I can't remember days of Open bales, I use whole bales 3 and 4 at a time each feeding.
I do however store my stacked hay I get delivered every 3-4 weeks- in a huge cage made from cattle panels, and covered with tarps in the middle of the goat yard
