What is hay selling for?

Well since you put it that way....I can see your point.

Well said.

Watched the same thing here as well...


I see your point....ignore my last comments....

It does seem odd for some guys without cattle to have a baler but there were always cattle guys busy ....cough...with other things...


Although there are some smart cattle guys without a baler.....seems it's easier to write a cheque for a couple years supply of hay than going thru the headache writing the cheque for the baler and then having to do the work too.

Bucket...years ago I went to a course put on by a holistic group and this guy was talking the same thing about selling the baler/haybine and running more animals and just buying the hay... thought it was a little c razy as were are going through 500 round bales of hay per season. I know I have control issues and feel that I have to put the feed up my self to get a good product but after this summer I think I may entertain the thought of just purchasing the feed from outside sources... deep in thought.

I thought that putting up hay myself was the right way too.

Now I make some and take a share on my hay land.

I can manage it better.

If my kids want to do it eventually the hay land will be there. But it would mean an expansion in cattle. ...just about time....banks are just about done lending for cheaper cattle.. .they like lending on high priced ones...right now it's a 2 for 1 offer on breds or good opens from just 2 years ago.
