My fingers now hurt like hell whenever i bend them and my arms are covered in scratches

Although we took it when wegot the chance because of the shortage and it was £3.10 a bale so not too bad! still more than we pay normally but not as bad as some areas.
how much are you paying for yours?
 
Blimey, is that off the field!!! At least you have some, the talk in our (feed) shop is of nothing but hay and whether it will ever be cut. Small bale haylage (Equine H) now retails at £6.25...

Going to be an expensive winter, my top to everyone is buy thick rugs and leave them out! (Think that will upset a few people...)
 
i also found some hay, but only cut 3 weeks ago, so ready for the winter... my farmer has 2000 acres to cut, but that's the million dollar question when he can get on the field to cut it... by the time that comes the hay will be of poor quality... so if you find some hay GRAB IT,
 
I found 80 bales at £3 a bale of last years hay...really chuffed to have it as it will see my boy through most of the winter. But my poor OH had to load it in stages into my trailer AND un load it at the other end because my back still is not right! What a saint!
