Price of large hay/straw bales?

[celia]

I currently rent a field for my horses and use small bales of hay and straw (mainly due to limited storage) but I'm hopefully going to be keeping them at home soon - and possibly taking on a few liveries - so thought large bales would be easier and more cost effective.

However, I've never used large bales so would love to know how much you currently pay for hay/haylage and straw and how long they last?

Thanks!

(Sorry for repeat post - also in new lounge - but wasn't sure where I'd get the best response.

Hay - £18 a big bale ( 15 sections )
Straw - £15 a big bale (18 sections )

Haylage £27.50 from equestrian feed store, although you will easily get it for £20-22 if sourced from local farmer.

We sell our big bale for £14, but they are mini hesstons, so closer to 10-12 small bales. Plus we don't deliver.
