[QUOTE="simme, post: 1739902, member: 40418"] Those 1400 pound net wrapped ok quality bales for $30 every day of the week are not available here. If that was available here, I would buy all I could, rebale in 4x5 bales and sale it for $40 per bale. I think that would be way more profitable than cattle here and a lot less work. $30 hay here would be fall baled grass full of mature weeds with low nutrition and the added bonus of increasing your weed seed bank. Those that can buy ok quality hay for $43/ton sure have an advantage we don't have here. But total hay fed per year in this area will certainly be less than 7 tons/head. I guess different areas have different challenges. [/QUOTE]
