I just got a new feed hay customer

[Hay Dude]

Over the weekend I got a call for cow/cattle hay.
I was thinking typical 1-3 bale sale.
He wanted 24 1,800LB bales. He planned to get them in (3) trips of 8 bales each.
His F-350 had electrical system troubles, so he only got 2 done, but paid me in full for all 3 loads.
We talked a lot about his needs and I listened intently to him. He’s coming back for the last load “soon”.

This could be the start of a good business relationship

Well, he paid in full. I would say yes to it being a good business relationship.

And hopefully repeating, or a returning customer at least.

I finally found a hay guy worth something. I have 50 4x5 (or bigger) round bales delivered every year. Easier to have it show up and just I just unload and store afterward. Even at that some years I have to buy a few more to make it work.
He can delivery straight from the fields close to us and that makes him happy.
Gibbs, up the road puts a lot more into his 2 giant hay barns but he feeds well over 100 head

That’s the most important thing to me.
A $3500 sale is nice, but I like long term customers
