What are we paying for small bales of hay

[Sandstone1]

As title, my supplier has just hiked his up and I am aware at this time of year good hay is in short supply but just wondering what others are paying.

 

[meleeka]

£5 It hasn’t gone up for a few years though so might do this year.

 

[sassandbells]

£5.75 a bale where I am in the south!

 

[Tiddlypom]

Bought 40 small bales of good meadow hay in recently at £5/bale delivered. They are over £7/bale collected at local feed store.

 

[w1bbler]

£3.75 per bale collected. Devon/ Cornwall border

 

[wills_91]

I need to move. £6.10

 

[Burnttoast]

Last year (21/22) 3.50 plus £10 delivery of a 35-bale trailerload. This year (22/23) 4.50 and I can't remember what arrangement we made re delivery. Anyway I paid for a year's worth up front which was painful!

£5 per bale delivered (north east) it is lovely quality though (and quite a bit cheaper than what we were paying down south). We don't use much though as they only have it when they've needed to be in for any reason - which is pretty seldom.

 

[Reacher]

£6 per bale collected

 

[Surbie]

5.75 in north Surrey (bought through the yard), but the last delivery is going to run out in a couple of weeks and I bet the next lot is more expensive. It is lovely hay though.

In comparison the timothy haylage is nearly a tenner a bag, so my horse gets it sparingly!

 

[dogatemysalad]

Our supplier put his price up last year to £3.50. Delivers daily for free from the farm next door.

 

[exracehorse]

Four pounds delivered. Suffolk.

 

[J&S]

[PinkvSantaboots]

[Sandstone1]

[COldNag]

3.50 per bale, delivered. I know, I'm lucky.
Local feed store is £6 per bale, collected.
South East ish.

 

[Ali27]

I got some delivered in January for £3.50 delivered but he has none left now. Just collected some 4ft bales which were £25 but his small bales were £6!

 

[2 Dragons]

£5 delivered, lovely hay but lighter than some bales. I'm in South East

 

[MidChristmasCrisis]

£5 ..buyer collect..north yorks/County Durham border

 

[poiuytrewq]

I dont buy small bales, but I know two local sellers of them and they are £5.50 one delivered the other I’m unsure.

 

[Afon_34]

How many small bales are people going through a week? -Just out of interest, Im lucky that we can store & feed big bales

 

[Sprogladite01]

£5.50 delivered. Though it's literally bought from across the street so really no delivery costs associated for the seller. Debating switching as not pleased with the quality. If I have to pay through the nose for it it needs to be good stuff!

I am getting through 3/4 a bale a day at moment for two native ponies. Not much grass around yet.

 

[Sprout]

£5 a bale delivered in Hampshire.

 

[FitzyFitz]

£4.50 a bale last time (half underweight, half full of docks..) but £5-£5.50 (decent stuff) now. Thinking of trying out big half ton square bales instead now we have a barn, not so easy as tossing a small bale into a feeder though. West Wales

 

[First Frost]

£5 per bale delivered and stacked. Lovely quality hay and big bales. The delivery and stacking is easily worth £1 a bale to me!

 

[Nicnac]

£5 per bale delivered and stacked for 105 bales minimum - South East

 

[Sealine]

£4 bale bought at DIY livery from the yard. I'm using 1.5 bales a week but horse is only in at night.
