[QUOTE="john250, post: 555900, member: 4406"] Chris comment would be true in my area as well. I don't know that rec horse buyers think in $/ton. Strictly $/bale. The seller with a 65 lb bale won't be able to charge much more than the seller with the 40 lb bale. And most folks aren't physically able to toss 65 lb up into the loft, so they prefer a lighter bale. If the customer doesn't make weight a consideration, and buys on factors like "easy to handle", then the buyer is satisfied and that is all that really counts. More astute buyers will take a scale with them and weigh a few bales. Or, run the load across a scale. And sample for moisture. Not a lot of folks do that. [/QUOTE]
