[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 16326"] Prices quoted on market reports are interpreted as either (a) center per pound, live weight; or (b) dollars per hundredweight, live. Ensure your fences and gates are in very good condition for the type of cattle you are running...just good insurance. Bermuda or coastal bermuda hay, depending on one's location, for small square bales can range from $2.50 (you pick up in field) to up to $5.00 or more per bale delivered and put in your barn. Alfalfa hay usually higher, but depends on region. In our Texas Panhandle region, we pay about same for horse quality alfalfa as we do for horse quality bermudagrass--about $4.50 per bale, delivered & stacked. For cattle only, "haygrazer" (usually species of soghrum grass/feed) can range from about $25. to $40. per round bale (about 1,000 to 1,200 lbs each). If you use this method, get a hay ring; otherwise, you'll lose up to 25 to 40% of hay from cattle scattering, tromping it, and soiling it. On haying--unless you have equipment in very good condition and quite a lot of acres to bale, much cheaper and less hassle, frustration to buy hay already baled.
