[QUOTE="Fire Sweep Ranch, post: 958814, member: 18809"] Rogersville is about an hour and a half away from us. We have lots of feed stores around, what specifically should I be looking for at Bass Feeds? We found some small round bales, just baled this week, 4 x 4's that are around 500 pounds. $25/bale, and they have 34 in the field. I think I am going to buy them, since it is close, fresh baled, and looks good. Con; they are small, so not sure how long they will last (our normal 4 x 5 last 2 1/2 days usually). Another con, they are string tied, not net wrapped. We have never dealt with string, so not sure about that fact. I guess we will need to cover with a tarp? We learned last year that we will NEVER sell extra until the season following. We always sold about a third, and last year I cut myself short and had to buy 15 bales in February for a small fortune. So we agreed to not sell until after the winter, and of course we do not get enough to even get us through the winter! Oh well, the famous saying around here is always keep a year's worth of hay in storage and I have now figured out why! :o This cattle business is an ever learning one, that is for sure!!! [/QUOTE]
