[QUOTE="ChrisB, post: 554760, member: 122"] I sent my wife to buy some hay at the sale barn a few years ago and sent along a scale so she could weigh bales before bidding on them. What everyone was calling 50-60 lb. bales actually weighed anywhere from 25-40 pounds. If you are selling hay by the bale, you will come out ahead making lighter bales. That goes for both round and square bales. Most of the horse people don't seem to be too concerned about weight, they would rather pay $4.00 for a 30 lb. bale than $5.00 for a 60 lb. bale. I'm not sure if that's an honest way of doing things, but that's seems to be how it works in my area. [/QUOTE]
