[QUOTE="mtchick, post: 1739466, member: 22091"] There's a lot of what I feel is gouging going on around here. $290 for a 750# bale, and I've seen $400-$450 for a 1300# round. No one can tell me it costs that much to make a profit on a bale of hay. I had to buy all my hay last year, but I bought early and from the same guy I have worked with for I guess going on 14 years. I normally get at least half my hay off my own land, so buy different amounts every year, but I can tell him by June how much I think I'll need and I get it for a fair price. I'm on high desert, and we get 1 chance to get a cutting of hay, last year was the 1st time in 20years that I got nothing off my fields. It's not looking good for hay this year either, so this my be my last year with cows. [/QUOTE]
