ranch will go a long way toward preserving quality. Never let your stored hay be vulnerable to standing water and always stack tight and end-to-end. In multiple row storage areas, provide at least 3 feet between roles for sunlight and air circulation.

This rancher seems to think it eliminates feed waste and allows plenty of room for both replacement heifers and cows to eat at the same time. However, he has fewer than 60 females total, thus it takes little time to complete. In herds of more than 300 cows it may take the whole day. You might want to try this feeding technique; I do not think we will waste much hay in the mud, at least for the foreseeable future.
