Shipping & Packaging Information

Border Valley Trading takes the execution of shipping and packaging very seriously. Buying, storing and processing the product are just three of the challenges facing the forage industry.

The company has personal relationships with all of the major steamship lines and shipping alliances. We handle all of our logistics "in-house" so we don't have to outsource to a third party. This has afforded the company tremendous opportunities to continue to ship product when we are faced with delays or equipment shortages at the ports. We also deploy a sizeable fleet of company owned chassis and leased chassis to support our on chassis and ground container operations. We feel our logistics model and team is the best in the industry. 

Border Valley Trading strives to provide the most innovative and up-to-date packaging styles available to meet the various needs and demands of the market place. Our primary goal is to provide the customer with the most feasible, practical and economical package that works for their operation. We offer every bale size and packaging option available in the industry from a 25 kg half cut bale to a 400 kg double compressed sleeve big bale. There is virtually no packaging style we cannot supply.

400KG Shipping Bale

400KG Shipping Bale

Border Valley Trading’s 400 kg sleeve big bale is produced through a unique process utilizing 3 tie bales which are double compressed and extruded directly into a sleeve package. This method eliminates the mixing of other hay or chaff, as well as grinding or chopping. The product integrity and consistent quality of our 400 kg sleeve big bale can be attributed directly to this process.
The two options available with the 400 kg sleeve big bale package are 8 Cut or 16 Cut. The 8 Cut style is equivalent to eight double compressed full bales while the 16 Cut is equivalent to sixteen double compressed half cut bales.
In addition to conventional unloading practices, the Border Valley 400 kg sleeve big bale can also be unloaded through a “dockless” method utilizing a small fork lift or hay squeeze.
