[QUOTE="Jalopy, post: 700436, member: 7856"] Depending on the year it could vary. But you should estimate high when you buy. I am not saying that these are firm and fast amounts just as a way that you can get started estimating. For an example assume feeding hay for 7 months or 210 days and for an average of 32 ponds of hay per day. that is a total of 67,200 pounds. I think that would be plenty depending on the quality of the hay and whether you have access to harvested fields or stockpiled pastures. I guess when I plan for winter use I always like to have extra hay lined up either purchased, raised , or know where I can get it should I need it. I know other individuals will have different ideas and thoughts that they will share with you also, therefore you can decide what works for you. Good Luck. JLP [/QUOTE]
