Like I said they aren't the best bales ever, but they get the job done! We almost made it through the winter on free hay though! My bosses, and my father in law lined up big round bales for us. I was totally shocked when my boss came up and said that he had 8 round bales for me if I wanted them! I work for a farm and they don't have livestock so he thought I would want them! It was nice to get them, especially with the hay shortage!K.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10360917262733032331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6773294397639465084.post-73265026349204246412013-05-01T20:13:51.256-04:002013-05-01T20:13:51.256-04:00LOL.

I ...LOL. I would be delighted to find $8 bales! <br /><br />I just found some pretty good hay, 70 lb bales, $14.50 so got 30 bales to start. Hopefully this years cut from the mountains will be better priced or the co-op deal with the club works out and we can get some good hay deals. Where do you all live that you can get $2 or $3 bales! WOW!!! See those are the bales I think would be cheaper even if one were to add the semi truck shipping fee!!Christie Maszkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06237968480153424007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6773294397639465084.post-35350774744361169632013-05-01T11:22:19.137-04:002013-05-01T11:22:19.137-04:00I just paid 16.75 for alfalfa, was the least expen...I just paid 16.75 for alfalfa, was the least expensive, for now. They are getting pasture now so its not so bad. Last grass I bought was 19.00 a bale, 3 string 140lb. Hay is expensive! In July I will get my Winter supply of local hay again, should be $3 a bale, in the field. Our local hay is not the highest quality only 6-8% protien, small 50lb bales. I got 130 bales last July, lasted me 7 months with 3 horses. Still have to have some alfalfa to supplement the old mare.Reddunappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02789213785183576404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6773294397639465084.post-74526401373270544952013-05-01T09:55:04.763-04:002013-05-01T09:55:04.763-04:00$14.75 a bale!!

We usually feed big round bales,but we keep small squares incase hubby is gone for work and they run out of hay. And the ground is so soft and muddy we can't get a big bale out there. Last weekend we went and bought a trailer load of about 100 bales at $2 a bale. It's not the best hay I've seen, but it keeps them busy and their stomachs full. <br />And I am with you about alfalfa. I've heard that it is too hot of a feed to be giving to horses. But my vet says that's what he would reccomend. And the vet that I am getting my new horse from feeds probably the best alfalfa I've ever seen to his horses. I just still don't know if it's right for my ponies!K.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10360917262733032331noreply@blogger.com
