[QUOTE="Angus Cowman, post: 805806, member: 8829"] it all depends on the cost of the hay and the cost of the building and also how much moisture you get on the hay I have always figured a 10% loss on outside hay and it is probably a little higher than that it doen't take much of a building to store 60 bales in a 40x80 x14ft tall I can get around 380 - 4x5 bales your best investment might be a gravel pad and a hay tarp, if you get alot of snow the hay tarps are a PITA so with a 20x40 you should be able to put alteast 100 or go with a 30x 30 [/QUOTE]
