[QUOTE="Alberta farmer, post: 604145, member: 8978"] In central Alberta hay is up a bit this year...or at least the asking price is! Don't think too much is trading hands right now because so many herds are being downsized/liquidated. A lot of hay is being advertized in that $40-$50 a round bale range. This would be bales weighing 1100-1300 lb. range. Last year hay generally was around $10/bale cheaper. Cattle prices are about the same as last year. I do think the hay guy needs a better price this year as his costs have gone up significantly from the year before...fuel and fertilizer? Our cows/calves are still out on stockpiled native grass. Should be good until Christmas if the snow holds off. If not will start feeding about 22 lbs. decent hay and around 15 lb. good two row barley straw. Intend to wean the calves(may-June born) around the 1st of February and put them on about 14 lbs. of good hay, about 3-4 lbs of 50/50 rolled barley/oats with a bit of 32% supp. until green grass.
