Hay Prices?!?!?! What are you paying?

[spanish goatee guy]

i raise alot of hay for myself and ithink a good price for my time would be fair at 3.50 per sqaure bale

WOW! I am in NY (hudson valley area) and pay $4.00 bale. It is pricy. I wonder if I am feeding them too much. As long as there is hay there, they will eat it! I never buy the alfalfa hay....WHEW! That stuff is real pricy. Maybe I would consider as a Christmas present.

Just found out...
My local hay supplier has alfalfa hay for $5/bale - standard "square" bales.

In Las Vegas, NV I was paying $17 a bale for alfalfa in May of this year. Now in Eastern KY I'm paying $4 a bale, a regular square bale.

For Timothy/Orchard mixed bales, 2nd cut we are currently paying $2 a square bale and $15 for a round.

We're working on finishing up fencing the perimeter off so they can graze and hay is for supplementation and winter feeding.

I live in Southern Maine and bought out of the field in the spring for $3 a bail, but paid $6 a bail over the winter.

I pay $1 a bales for alfalfa hay from my friend who is a dairy farmer. Since we dont milk cows anymore or have a haybaler anymore I buy from him. We have done the barter system from time to time so he sells me the bales for cheap! There is a lot of tradeing and swapping going on around here these days. Kinda nice that $$$ isn't passed back and forth much!

Texas - Kendal County $12 square bale for crappy hay. Almost impossible to find right now. Alfalfa IF you can find it almost $20 a bale per square.
