Hello Everyone,
Have any of you calculated if it is more profitable to purchase your hay versus growing and harvesting it yourself? I currently put up my own hay and I only need about 300 rolls a year. It is beginning to seem like it would be cheaper to purchase the hay if I can find a reputable supplier. I'm sure alot of you work another job or two like me and it just seems like the time, breakdowns,weather etc sometime make it impractical to harvest. It seems like adding more cows on the current hay ground would more than offset the cost of the hay. Tell me what you think and the pro's and con's if you have done both. Thanks for any input.
