Extreme Veteran Posts: 306	In search of hay and found some 2 year old hay they are selling for $55 a round bale. This years hay is anywhere from $75-$100 for same meadow grass. Do you think the 2 year old hay would be worth it? I figured separate the easy keepers and supplement with alfalfa for the hard keepers and growing colts.

Jr. Detective Location: Beggs, OK	We bought this years hay at $35 a bale/net wrapped... Everyone has more than enough here and I'm sure there's plenty to be bought. How much do you need?

Neat Freak Posts: 11216 Location: Wonderful Wyoming	Thats what we are feeding. It was hay that was put up here on the ranch and once I peel off the sun burnt outside, the inside is green and dust free. I think as long as it is free of mold and dust you are ok. The hay we bought goes to the cows. We have had a nasty drought here for a few years and haven't put up our own hay in awhile as it is flood irrigated to make it grow. I think the older it is the more nutrients it looses, but I have them all on free choice mineral/salt and they are getting grain (2yr old, 3 weanlings, antique horse). edited because I was holding a crying baby. Sounded like I had been drinking. Edited by wyoming barrel racer 2013-12-04 4:07 PM

How much do you need? I'm in MN. I'll need around 20 I think till they can be put back on pasture. There are people buying down there and hauling up but it ends up being the same prices. I heard about a load coming up from MO selling at $60 for alfalfa mix but haven't heard back yet. I can afford to pay for hay monthly. I just can't buy in bulk all at once.....it's frustrating.
