Car hauler for round bales

[Ken45101]

For $15 I would chop it back out on the ground for fertilizer.

Isn't that what horses are for? :laughing:

our horse hay here is about 54$ per round.. with cow hay being 20$ per round. you can get mixed bahia and coastal rounds that are suitable for horses in the 25-45$ range depending onthe cutting number and the amount of mix ( how dark it is ). have to drive about an hour to get the 54$ horse hay.. the other hays depends on where they have been cut.

Right now prices are higher. Junk hay sells for $20 and really good hay is going for about $70 plus. Our hay prices shot up since we had a drought through the summer. Most folks started feeding in August/September. I hope I have enough to get through... it will be close.

By the time you cut, rake, bale and truck hay at $15/round they are just raping their ground. IMO of course. We buy big squares of oat straw for $20-25. They are worth almost that much as fertilizer. That is a waste crop that has to be removed.

i had to start feeding early too. so far I think I've bought 22-24 bales.. should have enough to make it to march as long as appatites don't change..

You guys paying $15-25 ought to see what hay brings in N Texas.
$35-40 is about the cheapest you'll find for a 4x5 cow hay and if you want horse quality rounds it's $60 plus not to mention 90% of hay advertised as horse quality isn't.

What would a load like this bring in Texas? I am sure the cows would love it!:licking: Pretty rich alfalfa for the horses.

Two string alfalfa (40-50 pound) bales are ~ $10-11 at the feed store. You'd probably have enough there to buy a round of drinks for the forum
