Does anybody know of anywhere around the Manchester area, sort of as far as Cheshire, Preston....that does small bales of hay?
We are based in Bolton so obviously closer would be better!
We'd be looking at ordering sort of 30 odd bales ourselves and the rest of the yard may want to order also. We can collect ourselves but obviously if its a large order for the yard we may need delivery.
We are getting very low now and our YO has been unable to cut due to the wet weather we've been having! Problem is one of ours has just recovered from a Cushings induced laminitis so we daren't give her any freshly cut hay, we'd much prefer her to be on older stuff soaked. Our other one is okay as she can go out overnight to cut down on the nets we're using.
Any help is very much appreciated

P.S I'm trawling through pre-loved now...found a few but very far away!!
Also in NL
 
Can you contact the feed merchants. Our local one in skipton has a notice board, and I know there was a private ad for good quality meadow hay locally to me. There should be some in your area

I've just rang one near us and they wanted 6.50 a bale :eek: waiting to hear from someone else, failing that it might be a drive round and look for adverts situation!

I hate to say it but 6.50 a small bale at the moment is probably the price you will find. As not many/any have been able to cut this year yet for haylage/hay, so the prices are high cause people are panicing.
 
I've got a horse on box rest at present and really struggling to find hay that is reasonably priced. Can't find large round bales anywhere :(
Paying £5.50 for small but very heavy bales locally (Heywood) can give you some numbers if you like, both the suppliers I use offer delivery :)
 
I use Cole Hay. I live in Sheffield I have both small bale and Large round bale from them..... I normally order a couple of big loads a year. But I know on occasion they've delivered smaller loads to us. Hay is first class. Call Pat on - 01837 83837. Or have a look online colehay.co.uk
