[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 846105, member: 9"] A "big round" bale is usually a 5 x 6' bale, and will weigh between about 1,000 and 1,300 lbs average for bermuda or equivalent grass hay. A 5 x 6' bale will contain close to 2X as much hay as a 4x5' bale, based on cubic feet of hay in the bales. Thus, given this example $40 for a 4x5 bale will translate to $60 to 80. a bale for the 5x6. It also depends on how tight the bale is rolled...for weights. This season, we're paying $80 for a 5x6 bale plus $8.50 a bale for a semi-load (34 bales) of quality protein weed free bermuda hay trucked in from 60 miles away. Relate that to trucking in from out of state, etc., considering the outrageous diesel prices now. [/QUOTE]
