It's been about 3 weeks since I've been able to get to my back pasture which I call the "Hay Patch", about 25 acres. Lord almighty, the Jiggs are about 2 ft tall and need to be cut and baled, I believe. So I call one of my Mentors and he tells me that he had been back there checking on my cows while we gone to the hospital and said that it definately needs to be baled. So I ask him how much would a custom baler do it for( I say custom because not a lot of balers will come out for a measley 25 acres). He says that about $25.00 PER round bale. I said "Billy, I don't have a money tree and I'm a small operation". Like a good Texan, he says "You have to get that stuff baled so new growth can come in and your cows will never graze that down., (we've had so much rain in this area that the cows REALLY can't keep up. In a quandry. So what's my blasted question? Well, ....Does $25.00 sound kind of expensive to you guys?
