[QUOTE="uplandnut, post: 1555611, member: 24555"] Getting enough hay is a problem for a large number of people in western wi this year. This got me wondering how many people buy there hay as they go through the winter rather than before winter hits? I was at a beef meeting this weekend and got on the discussion of having enough hay, when asked what I do I told them I buy it as soon as I see it posted on craigslist. I try to buy all the hay the person is selling for the year and I show up as soon as its baled, if possible, so they're not sitting on it. When asked how I can afford to spend the money right away in the spring, my response was so I don't have to pay double when the rest of the year is dry like it was this year for us. I got burned one of my first years having cows when someone told me they would have enough hay for me with the number of bales I thought I needed and they didn't come threw. Made up my mind I would never put myself in that position again. This year I justified it by buying my hay at 30 to 38 a bale delivered, no this hay would bring 50-70 a bale at a hay auction. The posts on craigslist and facebook of people looking for hay got me wondering, what time of year, do most of you do your hay purchasing? [/QUOTE]
