[QUOTE="Stepper, post: 249597, member: 3398"] That is ok somn dont go to all of that trouble. I was just tring to get a rough idea of what it cost to ship a load of 8 x 3 x 3 bails. And if i understand you right. It is about $310 per hundred miles plus the cost of the permits ? And that is say a load of 60 bails ? That price seems with in reason to me. So on a 300 mile trip we are looking a ruffly at $ 1000 shipping ? That is going from Arkansas to Texas. The route of travel would probably be I-40 to Little Rock and from there I-30 on to Texas. So if that guy is selling the hay for $80 a bail and does not have to ship it futher than 300 miles(which that should be somewhere colse) after paying about $1000 for shipping. He is making about $1400 profit a trip. And they are moving 1 to 2 loads a day. So i would say someone is making alot more money in selling hay than can be made in selling cattle ? Am i over looking something ? Does thoes figure's seem right ? Is that taking advantage of people or is that a fair deal ? I would not think it was a fair shake. [/QUOTE]
