Hay - How much £?

[mickey]

How much do you pay for small rectangular bales of really good quality hay? I am looking to mix haylage with hay (horse getting fat) and will need to buy my own as yard has round bale haylage only. My horse coughs on anything remotely dusty and I can't soak as he wont eat. Could steam I suppose but prefer good hay.

To clear a bay we are selling our for £2 or £1.50 if buying 50+ at one time. That's collected though!

£3.75 - really good quality, when I first got my horse (only 4 years ago) I paid £2.50 for really excellent hay and I remember paying £1 a bale if I collected!

 

[samstar]

I'm paying £3 tomorrow for hay that I have to collect

I just called a local animal feeds store and they wanted £6.25 a bale!!! I think it might have been aimed at small animal market but even so. I know it is top notch hay but out of the question!!!

Our hay is excellent quality. We make it ourselves, but last year had to pay someone to bale it for us - £1 a bale. We also had to buy about 50 off the field, from a local farmer, as we bought a bigger horse and knew we'd be short. That was £1.40 a bale off the field.

This year, we hopefully will have a tractor by then (on the look out for one) and will do our own, no help needed. So free.

 

[LankyDoodle]

Around my way, allow £3 a bale for good hay.

 

[mickey]

Wish I lived closer to you!!! I just about gasped down the phone when I was told £6.25 a bale!!!

 

[LankyDoodle]

OMG!

That is just daylight robbery, surely!?

we have three acres cut, turned and baled for us, last year cost us 67p a bale and its lovely stuff. anything over £3 is a rip off although its probably more expensive this time of year when everyone is running out!

 

[Bosworth]

I have just bought four big Heston bales of hay - £17 each delivered. Fantastic quality hay. I cannot buy small bale hay down here at all.

 

[smirnoff_ice07]

We paid between £3.50 and £4.50 in the winter, cause we had such a crap summer up here last year everyone was really short!
Paid £3.50 delivered last month though.

 

[kellyeaton]

£ 2 very soft and fluffy clean hay!

 

[Stinkbomb]

From between £3.50 to £4.50 around here at the moment, although good hay is in very short supply

 

[Coffee_Bean]

£3.15 per bale, and its on the yard

 

[Donkeymad]

£2 per bale collected, but hay is getting in really short supply now.

 

[FinkleyAlex]

£4.00 a bale delivered and stacked, lovely quality hay and I'm in London.

 

[mickey]

Quite a big range of prices then, but nothing touches the £6 mark!!!!!
