3 pounds a bale, this is in Cambridge I can't believe the prices some people have to pay!

 

[Ginger Bear]

[stacie21]

£3.75 small bales of hay £1.50 I think for straw I don't use it but Y O sells it

 

[comet!]

£6 per small bale. This is last year's price so hoping it doesn't go up!

 

[diamonddogs]

£7.50 for half a large bale of hay and £2.75 for a small bale of straw in Warwickshire.

 

[yeeharider]

Big round bales on site, hay £30, straw £15, Haylage £27

 

[ABC]

big round bale £30, small bales £6.95 (needless to say I use the big bales )

 

[PlodCob]

Big round hay £25, delivery £25 and they bring 5 bales each delivery, so works out to £30 a bale.

 

[Enfys]

SCAREY prices.

We had a very bad first cut and then parts of our county had army worms (which eat everything but the stalk) which wiped out hundreds of acres.

We are importing hay in from the US and out West. At last look prices were averaging:

4 x 5 straw = $30
4 x 5 hay = $85 Last year I was paying $30
950lb Hestons = $190
Small bales (55lbs ish) = $8

Hay at auction is about 15c per lb.

Ignore the fact that the prices are in dollars, I get paid in dollars and money goes out in dollars.

Mine are eating 50% straw, and also hay (alfa/timothy) cubes which are $12 a 50lb bag.

I have 20 horses to feed, even on half rations because the snow hasn't come yet and I still have grass I am opening a new round of hay every 3 days the math is frightening.

 

[milliepops]

Big square bales £45
Lasts about a month

 

[vieshot]

£2.25 hay. Don't use straw, sawdust is much cheaper.

 

[oscarwild]

Good quality hay £40 big round bale and £25-£30 for ok quality big round bales.

 

[pinball]

Hay 2.50 straw 2.00 ,I would pay more than that as the farmer where I keep my horse only does the small bales for me as the cattle have the big bales, he and his wife arre real stars

 

[Shadow-01]

Anything from £5.00 to £6.50 for a small bale and £60-£65 for a round bale (I think I paid £70 once in a hay shortage!)
