The only hay i can find is £5.50 a bale :O

And absolutly nowhere seems to have rounds :(

In in kent, hows the prices everywhere else?

(or recommend someone cheaper in kent .. pwease :D)
 
I can beat that!! got quoted £7.50 about a month ago for small bales that weren't even all that great a quality!! I've managed to get some lovely stuff for £4.00 and hay is being made all around so hopefully it'll be better now! That does't really help you tho cos I'm about 500 miles away!!
 
I'm not - can't find a single bale. Luckily a lot has been cut over the last few days, but it's going to be expensive... if it is, we'll stick with £5 for a bale of high-fibre haylage. Luckily we have grass for the moment. God knows what's going to happen when we get to winter... :(
 
The last stuff I bought was £4.25 a bale. They were small bales as well, but nice quality. :) I'm feeding haylage now; better quality and value for money than plain hay.
 
We have just taken delivery of 550 bales of really good quality hay for £2.00 a bale. Can't use it just yet obviously, but we are all set for the winter months. As for now I'm paying £13.00 for a large bale and that lasts 2 horses 3 weeks. They are in during the day so have two hay nets each.
 
Just paid £18 per bale for lovely organic large round hay - last season's, had to drive to Suffolk to get it though!

Before that paid £4 per small bale for the most disgusting cardboardy, mouldy **** you never want a horse to eat. Burnt six bales out of 20 as not fit to feed.

Have been quoted from £3.75 to £5.50 for new season small bale in Essex, but will be buying in big bale this time as way more economical.
 
I'm in Essex and usually pay about £2 per small bale off the field at cutting time, although I have run out of last years and this years has not been cut yet, went to get soem the other day and they wanted £6 for crappy dusty stuff, so left it and went and bough 10 small bales of haylage to see me through. Surely this year is going to be a better year for hay PLEASE :-))
 
I'm in Northern Scotland & i pay £15 for the large rounds & it's good hay too.
I don't do the small bales as the bigger rounds work out more ecomonical.

I pay 2.50 a bale delivered. Nice stuff and have 30 bales left to last the summer months before the new lot is ready. I wouldn't pay anything like some off you are it's madness to charge those prices for hay.
 
I get 3 small bales for £5. I have r4ecently paid £15 for a round bale just up the road.
I would rather feed haylage than pay extortinate pricefor hay.
 
Depends on who i buy from, sometimes it's £4 delivered which is expensive around here.
Ive just bought some for £2.50 from over the road which isnt nice & yesterday bought off the field for £1.50. Im still waiting for my own to be cut.:rolleyes:
 
I paid £3.75 a small bale delivered (from quite a way away) in Feb for 100 bales, and have just paid the same price for 200 more. Last seasons, stalky stuff but ultra clean and sweet and the girly needs it not to rich or too new so ideal for us. The guy also helps unload it into the barn.

Up here in Aberdeenshire we've had enough rain and we just had a week or so of hot dry weather so the farmers have been doing their hay. Last year they couldnt cut till Sept in many places cos the weather was rubbish after May. So hay should be ok up here this year.
