I have been kicking around the idea of pasturing my hayfields and buying hay and was wondering if anyone else has gone through the same thing. Right now 4x4 rolls are going for $15, and it takes five of them to get a cow through an average winter. I would have to haul it around 50 miles each way, but I have a pretty good single axle truck and trailer to haul it on. Money wise I would come out way ahead with the increased numbers of cows I could run, but what I want to know is how aggravating is it trying to buy hay every year? Is it any more aggravating than trying to get hay up and work full time? Thanks for any input.
