How much is a bale of straw these days?

[Moggy in Manolos]

As title really

I havent bought a bale in absolutely years, so wondered what prices are like, it used to be about 1.50-2.00 a bale when i used to get it, doubt its much different in price now

So what do you pay for a bale?

Thanks in advance

 

[Battyoldbint]

£2

 

[Nailed]

yup £2

 

[spaniel]

You can still find straw at £2 a bale but Ive seen it advertised at £4 so shop around!

Just to show my age I remember it being 60p a bale off the field!

We got a load at the begining of the winter for £2.50 delivered. It is really dust free as my mare who would normally cough just looking at a blade of straw has been on it all winter totally fine, it has saved me loads compared to shavings

. The guy is up your way if you want his number.

£1 around here.

i was shocked at that, it was 50p a bale for donkey's years!

 

[Magicmadge]

Blimey, i'm shocked at some of these prices, i pay 75p a bale here and they are quite big, bigger than my hay bales. Better keep it to myself or he'll sell out!!!

 

[blackmagic]

£2.50 in the south. Didn't realise it was so cheap elsewhere!

Yes please, would appreciate his number as i am thinking going down the straw route would be good with my new found situation, thanks

And thanks for all your replies, not too much different from 15yrs ago really

[piebaldsparkle]

[checkmate1]

Omg, its £3 for a normal sized bale or barley straw here!! Its £3.50 + I've seen advertised elsewhere.

 

[Nuttymanxmare]

Gosh I cant remember I think its £2 for a small one. I use the ton bales and they are £14 and last me over a month and a half!!

 

[luckilotti]

£3 wheat and £3.50 barley - and thats buying in bulk! many of the local suppliers have none - what ireally annoying is there were a few hundred acres of straw done last year - and the big bales are STILL sat on the field! its been in the local press - seems the farmer got some defra payments etc for doing a crop - but he hasnt even bothered to move it let alone sell it....

 

[redmerl]

£1.50 per bale up North, and its ok quality.

 

[Faithkat]

£3 for a not-very-large wheat straw bale near me

 

[Chestersmum]

£7.50 for a very large bale.
