[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 560171, member: 3162"] Don't go telling everyone my tricks! :shock: :shock: I am as crooked as the Brazos. It costs $47 to produce a round bale, we should sell it for $40 just because. During the drought I had over $40 a bale in irrigation cost alone, and that doesn't count the cost of pump or irrigation pipe. Just fuel. Customers appreciated me having hay and strangers felt I was gouging. When I have horse quality, I tell the hobby horse folks I don't. I seriously don't want to mess with them. Too much trouble with no volume of sales. Cattlemen who have horses feed my cow hay to their horses and tell me it is better than the feed store stuff, so long as it isn't first cutting. It is not pure leaf hay so I don't call it horse hay. One of my fields was full of winter growth clover because it had no cows on it. No weeds at all just clover and coastal. Rich dark green coastal. People thought the clover was weed. It is going to my cows this winter and they'll be very happy about it :D :D Those who know better want that hay versus the granual fertilized. Most all of us selling hay are trying to squeeze all your profits away. :lol: :lol: :lol: If I had to sell hay for less than cost, it can sit in the rows until it rots. That is just how it is.
