[QUOTE="bdog, post: 90881, member: 485"] Well guys, the auction ended and no one even bid. There were about 10 seprerate lots of the hay and only one which had 180 bales sold and it went for a dollar a bale. I know the guy that runs the place and I may be able to go talk to him and get it even cheaper. I have a 50 horse tractor with a FEL, and about a dozen other implements. Stacking and storing the hay is no problem. My nearest neighbors are 1/2 mile away and they have about 300 cows themselves. My area is flat and we get little rain. I think annual average is 15 inches. My trailer can haul 8 bales at a time. If I could make 6 trips a day, it would take me a week to get all the hay. Alternatively I could hire someone with a semi to haul 30 bales at a time for probably $150/load. This would still give me the hay at my place for $6/bale which is super cheap for that much feed. I ran some numbers and I think I could make a good payout if I don't have to spend much on additional feed or supplements. [/QUOTE]
