Here in the West some of our "square" bales go 1000lbs or more.

Well - the answers from the East coast will be <really> different from the West coast. The Westerners have 3 string/wire bales of near 100 lbs or more. Here in the east, a typical 2 string square bale is 40-60 lbs. We allow 20-25 lbs of hay per horse per day if they are strictly on hay and no pasture... More if they'll eat it. I hope that helps. Try to buy your square bales by weight rather than number. You'll usually get a better deal. There's a hay market (I can't remember the name) on Highway 200, about 0.25 miles N of I75 - on the left hand side. You may want to check with them! The store was there about a month ago!
