Silage / Straw / Hay Price Tracker

[puntabrava]

The point was people charge different amounts
depending on supply and demand .
I sold 500 rounds to one bloke last week for more
than a fortnight before and much more than harvest time .

I want the recipe for your cocktail mix please

 

[Skintagain]

this weather has to be hardening things!! Not enough time left of winter for job to rocket but price is surely hardening for feed as well as straw!

There's plenty of hay and silage about and it's not worth much .... I bought 40 4ft round bales of decent hay yesterday for £8 a bale . I didn't need it or want it but for that money I couldn't let it go .
Brightwells have another fodder sale coming up a week tomorrow . There are no catalogues out yet I don't think but I think there will be a lot re-entered that wasn't sold before in Jan

Needed the space so got rid of some good quality hay for £50/tonne. Wont be selling any more though now for the foreseeable.

I see Brightwells have cancelled their fodder sale and joining with Sunderland's and having a combined one in the market

Must be bad when Stow dont post a sale report . I suppose 80% not sold is embarassing

Could someone give me an idea of the price of straw we don't usually buy any. A local farmer has to clear his lambing shed out ready and has a few loads of wheat straw in 6 stinger squares. I would be collecting and loading. How much should I give him (I want to be fair to him).

 

[snipe]

Making about £55 to £60 A ton round here. How deep are the bales 70cm(3.2 bales/ ton) 90cm(2.2 bales to the ton) only rough figures from my own experience.

I would be £50.00 per tonne in my area if you are fetching it. Go and weigh it too fairer all round. Straw is creeping up in money. Might be worth asking him for a price first so you aren’t miles apart and cause offence.

 

[Hfd Cattle]

£20 a bale would buy it and be fair

because people are free to share as much or as little information about themselves as THEY want to

the OPTION is there should anyone wish to share location with you
