Bit much for a conventional. What size bale?Is asking £35 bale for nice dry spring barley straw where the markets at? Anglesey North Wales. Oh and I’m selling.
Oops thought I stated RoundBit much for a conventional. What size bale?
Read the posts properlyGood god, that's no good for anyone, they shouldn't be estimating a weight, that what weighbridge s are for.
Which bit then? The bit where he says "the ton price is an estimate". Yes it's sold per bale but leave it at that, don't write a per ton price if you don't now the weight.Read the posts properly
The loads have weigh tickets usuallyThat ton price would be an estimate , I work on 4 to ton to be safe, but the ones at £54 quoted were 80 x 70 so could be 5 to ton
That would make far more sense.The loads have weigh tickets usually
It’s fairly simple really. If round bales are light they are usually sold by the bale. If they are heavy they are sold by the tonne. As soon as you see which way they are to be sold it tells you what weights you are likely to be looking at. Usually square bales (not conventional bales) are sold by the tonne apart from quadrant typesThat would make far more sense.
Derrick is not selling the stuff, simply giving an estimate of what the weight might be .Which bit then? The bit where he says "the ton price is an estimate". Yes it's sold per bale but leave it at that, don't write a per ton price if you don't now the weight.
Whats wrong with scottish straw? Not enough blackgrass in it?Funny what you read on here but for someone who never goes to the auction at Carlisle to say weighed loads are estimated weights and another to say it’s Scottish straw doesn’t fill you with confidence believing anything you read on here.
When dropping geld cows off or whatever it is it’s easy to have a wander across to the fodder auction as there’s a fair few lads I know well there that sell straw. Most have tickets and I could name at least four or five regulars who are from the north east or Yorkshire
Since when has Sunderlands Hereford Market been in CarlisleFunny what you read on here but for someone who never goes to the auction at Carlisle to say weighed loads are estimated weights and another to say it’s Scottish straw doesn’t fill you with confidence believing anything you read on here.

Nobody said that weighed loads were estimatedNothing wrong with Scottish straw I’m just reading on here that weighed loads are estimated and it’s from Scotland at our nearest auction
Neither are true
Sorry if I got confused or confused you with my comment. But most auctions down here sell by the bale and then put and estimated weight on the sale report .Nothing wrong with Scottish straw I’m just reading on here that weighed loads are estimated and it’s from Scotland at our nearest auction

Oh dear, . Derrick was replying to a quto of mine where we were discussing that a auction was reporting by guessing the weight but selling by the bale with out accurately getting the bale size right. No crime, just confusion.Derrick is not selling the stuff, simply giving an estimate of what the weight might be .
I had no idea of the size of a d4000 bale,
Is that a crime?
That's as I understand happens, but in the interest of accuracy it should say estimate or not put it in the report, i'v move some 6 to the ton round bales that really surprised me. At £35 bale it can really distort the market.Sorry if I got confused or confused you with my comment. But most auctions down here sell by the bale and then put and estimated weight on the sale report .
I I repeat the £54 bale was in Hereford
