[QUOTE="Sostra, post: 1563523, member: 38150"] I believe in what Jim Gerrish wrote “The more iron and oil you put between the sun and a cow’s mouth, the less profitable you will be.” I buy all my hay. IMO if you can find a reliable supplier providing good quality hay, it has much more pros than cons to go for it. If the supplier is specialized in forage production, he can invest in all new machinery with high productivity, will use it as many hours per season as possible, produce big volume of rolls and his unit cost of production will be lower. Such people are also knowledgeable about how to quickly fix smaller issues. And they use winter time to have their machinery ready for the new season - preventative maintenance. One other aspect is that when buying hay you normally feed the cattle more than once. First feeding is with the hay itself, but then it comes out as a manure on the pastures and improves them.
