Just finished helping to handle 320 bales of hay. 4 of us locally bought a large trailer load. It came from Kansas. The bales weigh 70-90 pounds. Only 20 were mine. Luckily the guy and his son who delivered helped to unload. I was the youngest, at 58, of the local unloaders! Those puppies were HEAVY!
The price was $10 per bale. I only bought 20 bales, as I have pasture and only two miniature horses. We had a rain a few weeks ago and the winter forage grasses are showing some life. You should have seen us sweeping/raking up the hay debris and stuffing it into tubs to save so it wouldn't go to waste.
Ah, the good old days when 20 bales of grass hay would have cost $60 instead of $200.
I learned that our OK governer has waived the weight and wide-load permits for hay being transported in OK. No wide load at night, but otherwise hay is good to go.
Looks like very nice hay. It is "native KS prairie hay"--whatever that is. It is harvested off huge properties, some as large as 6000 acres. The hay guy told us the field is burnt off every year which controls the weeds.
Anyway, it is beautiful, soft, and a nice green. My two boys have already sampled it and seem content.
