What do you pay?

[huskimo12]

sorry if this post offends any one but reading one of the other posts made me think that i may be paying way over the odds.

How much do you guys pay for hay? Straw?
I have available rye or meadow hay?
small bale haylage?

I am in the South Wales area I dont know if this affects costs at all?

Thanks

I'm Surrey and currently paying £4.25 a bale! This is for soft meadow hay that smells lovely....as this is what my cob will only eat.......wish I could afford to be so fussy!

Do know it's comeing in at a premium,as where I keep my cob is a feed merchants as well,and they have it comeing in from all over Europe......so hence the costs,due to this Summers cr*p weather!
