Large hay bales

[Cosmogirl]

How long do large bales of hay/haylage last people, and what is everyone paying?

Thank you

Buckinghamshire.
Hay £65 delivered. Lasts about 4 weeks in the field with 3 out daytimes (7/8 hours) in winter.
These are the big 6 string bales.

Also Bucks. Last year's bales (4 string) £40 each. In winter I use 3 slices a day for 2 ponies & 1 horse when the grass has gone.

£45 down South. How long it lasts depends.

Big round bales are £30 here (Lincolnshire) They last my three about 10 days over the winter and longer in the summer.

The bale size and the bale weight within the same bale size makes it impossible to state a standard length of time that they will last. Large round bales of hay can weigh surprisingly little.

Wales- £60 Inc delivery. Lovely hay though. My 3 tend to go through one every 10 days

Same price range for me too. In South Wales. £55 for a round, £63 for a 4 string bale, £95 for a 6 string. A round lasts about 10 days for my two, a 4 string about a fortnight. Mine have access to hay all the time as I only have 2 acres of very wet clay, so I try to save my grazing. They are on a large hardstanding all night and have hay on this during the day.

I’m in Staffs and I pay £40 for round bale delivered and it lasts me 7-10 days in Winter (when grass has gone) for three (15, 14.2, 13hh) good doers!

I pay £40 per large round hay delivered and they are heavy bales. I bale tends to last 6 days in winter for 6 large horses and about a month in the summer.
