    For those of you who bought Barefoots this year, did you notice the tops of the bags where they sealed them aren't quite sealed? Not a big deal, but I roll my bags down a flight of stairs to stack them in my basement, and was taping them so I didn't have to clean up a bunch of pellets that would work their way out. I bought 2 ton this year and most of the bags looked like this:

    I agree faulty bag welds. Seen this from a few over the years. Helps to notify them, But usually already corrected.

    A non issue if you always grab the top of the bag when loading/restacking. Strays can still be used once gathered as long as they didn't have water contact. I'm a seam ripper and use the hole to assist in opening the bags. Never can find the knife when I need it! :rolleyes:

    Time to go the next size up! My closet looks like a store with multiple sizes hanging up. Ugh.
