[QUOTE="smartin0022, post: 1739815, member: 39232"] How can someone justify buying hay at anything over $50 per bale. I buy some hay when equipment breakdowns and or my fields are s#!t. I can buy 1400 lbs netwrapped hay for $30 a bale all day and it's pretty okay hay. I need 10 bales per head in my area on a rough winter. I don't make a huge profit on cattle by any means and I get free DDG, WDG and syrup from work if I need it to supplement. I'd sell everything I own and just kill deer at anything over $50 a bale. How are you all paying $290 for a 4x5 bale that weighs 750 lbs and staying in business? If my cost per head exceeds $450 a year I'm in the red. [/QUOTE]
