I WISH I had your prices!

Oh, and I'm in Florida... (at least for now!)

Are you saying you paid too much? Or, you got a great deal on the rounds? Just trying to clarify. I'd love to find some bales that sound like that, if they are really nice bales.

They are GREAT Bales and you will not at all find my complaining. The mares eat every last bit and they were stored inside and dry, not a spot of dust or mold ...they smell sweet and green, just great, i still cannot believe the price we got them at...im hoping i can "steal" some more from him at that price

Southern NJ

feed stores about $7.00 a bale maybe 40#

local farmer's about $4.00 bale lighter side but nice

Home grown FREE (priceless)

Here in Maine I get locally grown timothy/grass mix for $5.00 to $6.00 a bale- 30 lb. bales, or a round bale is about $40-$50.

 

[Reignmaker Miniatures]

Well, I'm in Canada so maybe it doesn't count as an answer to your question (North central British Columbia) but the average square here is 65lb and for a basic timothy Orchard grass mix they sell for 4.50 a bale. I buy my hay (except for a dozen or so small squares for traveling) in 1500 - 1800lb square bales (I don't care to fight with peeling the hay off of the rounds) they are a nice alfalfa, timothy and orchard grass mix and the horses LOVE the hay. I paid $77 each for them this year and last year they were 85 each from a different supplier. I did have to take a semi load at that price but we just sold off the extra to others around us.

 

[RockinSMiniature]

Oklahoma - $4.00 sq bale hay..

[SIZE=10pt]I don't have any pregos this year so I buy mixed (fescue orchard and other grasses) round bales that weigh in at about 1200 to 1500 pounds. One will last me 9 days with feeding 16 minis and one biggy. I pay $30.00 a bale and it is barn kept. First cutting this year. My horses clean every bit of it up. I don't let them have free choice. I feed it out to each pen myself. Oh and I live in Missouri.[/SIZE]
