Both lots were outside, the hesstons were four and five high and were wet on the knott side.

Was cheap straw though .

Agreed....but nice stuff making £55 to £65 a tonne tho.

 

[Skintagain]

Hay looks a bit dearer.

There’s 800 quads of wheat and 400 of barley not sold, he said he’d take all the marked bales out, would be cheap straw @£35/t

off to look at some 6 string hay, some this year, some last £10 bale, says its pretty good stuff, but has to go, going to bring 8 bales back to try, on a I/w trailer, very close to a friend, his trailor, but he will be here on thurs. But it is haulage that kills the job, Any other prices of fodder ? as we are nearly 1/2 way through jan,, farmers wishing to sell, must soon start realising its not going to get to last years prices, as with our hay, chap wanted mega bucks last winter, and turned down strong bids, look where it got him, and now, it has to be moved, greed cometh before a fall.

Surely if you had the fodder you started winter with end of January you would have fed nothing all of October/November/December/January? Or am I missing something here lol

pays to follow the mkt, around £50 a bale last year, asking for more ? result = £10 a bale, definitely below cost of production.

I decided I was missing something, glad to find you agree!

Probably meant by end of January you should have enough food too start winter all over again maybe? So youv always 2 months food spare...

My grandfather always used too have an entire clamp spare every year used too have 2 clamps and alternate which one he used each year so was always 12 months ahead with food
