[QUOTE="Ebenezer, post: 1313095, member: 24565"] Yes, it is an individual decision and a local situation. It is merely a issue of economics and labor for me. No hay equipment here on the farm and none wanted. Again, personal and economic decision. Most hay sellers around here would fall into the fisherman group that always catches plenty, the big one got away that was "this long" or the buck was the size of a fat steer. Hay making here is not an honored tradition of highest quality or a dependable quality. A lot of "residue" or overly mature forages are baled to make volume rather than quality. If I hit myself on the thumb with a hammer long enough I lose the desire to build with nails. About the same way right now on hay due to past hay bought and found to be less than said for more than it is worth. For me, hay is a tool and not a feed. Grazing is a cheaper and easier option. Just where I am in life and location. But that is just here and one guy's opinion. [/QUOTE]
