Need to think about buying in some hay for the winter before it's too late (maybe it is already...just haven't got round to it yet!). Anybody have any recommendations please?

Lots of hay on eBay in Herts. Quality varies greatly so do try it before buying in bulk.
For comparison:
We sell at £4.50 per bale for conventional square bales (25kg) at our farm here in Hertfordshire, on the Cambridgeshire/Bedfordshire/Essex border).
IMHO this is cheap for top quality hay. It's usually a fiver, but we had a wonderful crop.
Most people seem to go for cheap rather than quality. We put a lot of effort into quality. There are big differences. It's a proper agricultural crop albeit organic -- not just a field of random grass that we needed to mow anyway like I often see!
I'm seeing hay sold on eBay more these days and I sometimes sell on there myself.
