Hay - What are you paying per ton?

[Aneesa's Muse]

A 50# bale of Timothy is $17 - $20 ..a bale of Alfalfa is about a $1 cheaper ....but I'm in the city limit, so that could have an impact. Fortunately, I'm only feeding 7 Cavies, a Chinchilla ..and my Chickens ..who "play" in it

Wow...I couldn't have animals if my hay was that expensive.
The prices did go up here because gas was so high when the haying was done this year.
Big rounds of timothy are $25-$35 here. Small square bales of timothy are $3.50 vs $2.00 last year. And my supplier is sitting on a barn load of alfalfa because he wants $5.00 a small bale for it and not many are willing to pay that.
I do feel bad for the hay farmers because they paid out a lot more for gas last year and are trying to recoop their expenses.

When we bought our alfalfa/grass hay mix in July/August we got it for $135 a ton.

Geez, a little square bale of burmuda is 8 bucks here.

You do the math for me -

I pay $40 delivered for an 800lb roll of good quailty hay.

Alfalfa is about $17 for a bale about 100lbs. We pay around $5 a bale for 50lb bales of grass hay.

200-220 per ton for straight alfalfa

All feed is expensive here, not just hay.

$200.00/ ton here if you know where to buy. If not you can pay $300.00. This is dairy grade hay.

 

[BeardedChick]

Around $225/ton this year for top notch grass/alfalfa hay.

it really depends on the area. here in the desert, a small, two string bale of alfalfa is seven bucks easy.
