[QUOTE="cypressfarms, post: 140779, member: 2653"] Dun's got a point there. There's a lot of difference in how people bale. Went on vacation in Austin this year, and on the drive over noticed many round bales wrapped with celophane. It's not something that we do, but if it keeps more moisture in, there goes the weight up. Here, our bermuda round bales 5 by 6 will weigh 1,600 to 1,800 lbs, and the square bales will weigh 50 to 60 lbs. With this scenario, a round bale using the low side would be 32 square bales. Still a "deal" to purchase the round vs the square. Dane12, i'd recommend you talk to some of the people around you selling hay and compare the cost and weight of each, then make your decision. The cost of the square bale would have to be pretty low, even at $70 per round bale for you to come out ahead if the round bale is heavy. [/QUOTE]
