[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 563508, member: 7509"] 15 1000lb bales would be about twice what you need. I would not purchase 2 years worth of hay if it had to sit outside unprotected. You might lose 50% of the carryover in N MN weather. Having extra hay is nice if you have a way or place to protect it. It's different buying excess hay than saving your own excess. I had about the outer foot of 6 ft diameter netwrapped bales spoil on me in the wet snowy fall and winter we had last year in WI. By late winter and early spring I had to peel off the outer ft of moldy bales. The outer foot of a 6 ft bales is over 40% of the hay in the bale. It was enough to make a person consider a hay shed, wraps, tarps etc. [/QUOTE]
