[QUOTE="chukar, post: 1046774, member: 15658"] I have to agree with Dave on this one. Anytime, buying or selling, a standard unit of measure is going to be best. Seems if you are buying by the bale and there are extreme differences in weight due to size of bale it only makes sense. Especially if you are feeding cattle x number of pounds per day, or some percentage of their body weight. Pretty hard to say one bale of this is going to suffice this bunch of cattle for today, when that "one" bale might only equate to 1% of their total weight. Only time I have ever paid anything "by the bale" is if I have a custom baler come in and they say $x per bale for the job. I always make them give me a $/ton price for the same job. Then we take a check weight, and if their bales are light/loose/smaller than they should be, we go by the ton price. A guy could get real backwards real fast if it you only went by the bale if you don't ever know what they actually way. Jus my two cents anyway. [/QUOTE]
