[Holly831]

We were paying £3.00 but it has gone down to £2.00 as our lovely supplier says this is now 2nd crop and not as nice as first crop!

 

[measles]

£140 a tonne delivered

[TGM]

Just found out it is £5.50 a bale at my local feed shop!

 

[Tinypony]

£35 per round bale delivered, in Kent.

 

[itsme123]

£4.50 a bale from the merchants (excellent quality).

I then paid £2 a bale from a local farmer (got a job lot), and the ponies won't eat it! (if anyone in leics wants a few bales they can HAVE it!)

Next year I'm buying big bale... so if anyone knows anyone selling good quality big bale in leicestershire for a decent price do let me know so i can get my order in.... it's like gold dust here at the moment.

 

[Chico Mio]

Gosh, you lot are suffering with some prices there!

Not a good time to say I get my big round bales free from a friend, then? Or I pay 15€ for a roundbale if I have to? Just told someone to poke his small bales because he wanted €1.50 each for them, they are great hay, but two years old and no one will by them for cattle, so they are only worth €1 a bale - he just thought he could fleece the foreigners.

 

[amandaco2]

i get big bales for £22. brill. lasts 3 horses about 7 days.

the small ones around me are going for about £6!!!

 

[Sasal83]

We pay £4.50 for hay in Suffolk and can get the 25kg bags of haylage from a local supplier for £4.50 too....crazy!
Happytohack - where do you get your hay from??

 

[Toffee44]

I know some one who has just bought in some large rounds for £40 each its nuts!!!!!

 

[Twirly]

CLT - is that from Eastwick lodge?

I went in there to pick a bale and nearly fell over when they charged me over a fiver!!

 

[cobface]

£2.50 for lovely soft meadow hay

 

[Umbongo]

eeek I thought mine was bad!

At home I pay £1.50 for a small bale (nice hay), but at uni I pay £3....I thought it was a rip off but glad I don't pay as much as some people have to!
