Re: [RC] Hay Prices - Karen Sullivan

==========================================

I picked up 30 bales yesterday in Yerington from the Nevada Hay Growers
Association location.  The bales averaged about 97 pounds, 3 string, and the
price was $165.00 a ton.

I paid $232.65, which averages $7.76/bale.  It is alfalfa-grass hay, and I
think it is the last of the baling of last season.

*Hm....I'd be darn glad to get hay this time of year that hadn't been rained
on for that price....especially an alfalfa/grass mix.

Feedstore alfalfa in Northern Calif. here is $14 and up.......we have a
local trainer who imports alfalfa from northern calif and sells nice 3
string bales for $11 a bale (we pick up)....

Yes, hay prices all depend on weight of bale.  This year I didn't buy enough
grass hay for the winter (stupid), but didn't count on extra horses; a few
months ago I lucked into 2 string rye grass hay that had been stored for
$2.50 a bale I pick up (my son and I got 60 some odd bales)....but they are
small and I truck one or two out in my back pasture every day for the herd
to clean up.....
