hay

If I buy a couple from a farmer up the road who keeps some beefers to keep is tax abatements, they're up in the 80# range and a couple bucks cheaper. Not many people are still square baling now except those selling pet food.

In other words if hay is bringing 40 dollars for a big round you would pay the land owner 20.

Little squares bring more per ton but there is more labor so I would never give 1/2 the sale price for rent for little squares.Maybe a 1/3.

If you know some one that will take the hay ask them. But $2.50 min by the way it sounds your area is a lot higher like $4.50.

Yes, it's true. I'm still highly agitated and bitter about this whole affair. :>)

Makes me mad enough to go out and buy another old red tractor! Yeah, that's what I'll do. :>)

You only have to handle those bales 3 more times.

Once on to the truck to get to manger, once off the truck into the manger.and the last time when you get to use the loader again to load the waste.

If you sold the horses now and burnt the hay pile you would end up with the same amount of income.(:~})

Sometimes think maybe I should have stayed with the "Silver Dollar Queens".

They were dummer than a bucket of rocks, but I could always shoo 'em away and send 'em home in the morning. :>)
