[QUOTE="Rydero, post: 1555626, member: 38101"] I only buy standing hay but often sell hay. The way you buy is from my perspective a great way of doing business. What I've noticed primarily from people who buy small quantities of hay is that they wait too long or try and only buy what they'd need in a best case scenario. If winter/spring drags out they come back again and again to buy small quantities to get through to when they hope to stop feeding. I only allow this as it suits me to load (meaning no special trips) and when I can't sell it all to somebody else. As a seller the objective is to sell the hay, not maybe sell the hay. I'd never short my own cows or turn down an offer to buy all the hay I have to sell because someone else isn't planning their feed supply properly. Most bigger operations I have contact with know how much feed they need for winter and source it as soon as they can but of course there's always exceptions. [/QUOTE]
