We’re charging our customers £50 a bale 350kg bales. Beautiful Timothy hay
Again its a location thing but imo there will be more round bales of silage sold nearer £10 than £20 this winter, autumn has been great for keeping stock out. I have bought 80 bales of round cow hay at a fiver which the cows are loving while still out just because i couldnt turn it down.
They say if you get a grassy year you'll need the forage , El Nina is on it's way
Old wives tales come true once in a blue moon i suppose
Yes , but is this the year , everything else has gone tits up
Yeah beef and sheeps flying , milks on the rise, corns up, osr is £500t etc. Terrible year
If fodder prices hold up it will only because farmers are flush with moneyAnd all the inputsYeah beef and sheeps flying , milks on the rise, corns up, osr is £500t etc. Terrible year

It could be,but it will all depend on what kind of Winter we get.Come the spring when people are waiting for fertiliser ( and see the price if it), fodder will look cheap at twice the price

Nick Champion got a Fodder sale shortly . He is asking vendors to be 'realistic' with their reserves this yr .
I bet it will be awash with silage but probably too far for you . I was going to put some in the sale I've got stacked in Rotherwas but I'm going to hang on till Brightwells sale I think .
