Why wouldn’t you?

considering the summer we had I thought decent Hay would be in High demand.. could not be more wrong.. no call for small hay bales this winter..my guess is a lot of Horsey folk feeling the pinch maybe selling the horse??

A lot made of stewardship which will become even more. Easy replacement for straw

Can't believe it ,
be better buying hay now for next year and grazing your ground if it really is that cheap , no weather to bother about either making the stuff ...

Cold dry spring after all this wet will clear it up

£25 to £35 a round bale seems to be the run on Facebook. A local is buying them one at a time off us for horses for£30. Bales are a bit weathered but nice inside

Do you think there's much money in it at £30...? The amount of diesel used this summer tedding it trying to dry it out.

ah could be, but we are finding more have at last worked out that haylage to all either buyer seller or hoss is better value. I ve not seen any reduction in nag numbers more the opposite round here .

 

[spin cycle]

i'd be worried about the stuff heating and combusting if used for bedding ....suppose cows be OK.. but sheep

 

[M-J-G]

Folks are paying £115 ex farm for straw across Scotland if it can be found, I cannot see why hay would be less.

 

[had e nuff]

Wife paying £40 for a round for the horses. Good stuff and really heavy bales.

 

[som farmer]

on the somerset levels, tier 3 grass, is used for bedding, its pretty useless as a feed.

short on wheat straw, son's pal is short of horse hay, we are getting bedding quality hay, he is getting good quality hay, with the difference made up.

on his horse hay, sold more this year, than ever before, and made a lot more hay as well.

Another month of this weather and it wont be cheap anymore. There will be folk getting close to the back wall of the silo soon.

 

[Boohoo]

Don't know anyone who has hay, haylage or silage for sale. When it's all in short supply in February it's going to be expensive. It's a long time until May morning.
