Silage / Straw / Hay Price Tracker

[Skintagain]

Maybe us guys that sell and deliver should be selling it at last years price and delivering for free, oh and by the way I need 75 weaned suckled calves last years price and delivered free to EX6 please. Embarrassing is offering a farmer £30 ton for straw in the field and thinking he should be grateful.

great news for vets, joint ill, mastitis etc.

actually, we find cattle outwintered, are more healthy than those housed, double gain ! But oct has gone by, and if an early spring, straw will not have been used, reducing demand, and demand dictates price.

Selling fodder is a thankless task.

It’s just the market of supply and demand working . You never hear of any livestock farmers saying they think store lambs or store cattle are too dear and that they will let buyers have them at last years price .

Never said that but do you think £80 for a 500 kg bale of straw is to much
It will kill the trade and may never come back - same thing happened with hay 2 years ago
