[QUOTE="BobbyLummus1, post: 1227066, member: 22795"] I had to decide whether to buy the $20 4x4 junk hay or the $65 4x6 top shelf hay . When the 4x4's weigh 6-700 lb and the 4x6 weigh 1500 lbs . I have not weighed them to be exact but I know long it takes them to eat through the hay . The 4x6 hay fills up every bit of the hay ring . Same hay ring I can force 3 of the 4x4's into with the loader . Highgrit you mention $65 into the bottom line , I have multiple pastures and could have a hay pasture , I have some of the best pasture in this country . With $1000+ calves I think it makes sense for me to run cows and buy hay . I could get it rolled for $18 a bale and have more hay than I need setting outside going downhill . Or put 10-15 cows and a 1000 lb bull over there . They easily pay the hay bill for all my pastures and then some I have thought about this many times [/QUOTE]
