[QUOTE="IL Rancher, post: 334965, member: 4097"] Good gosh I would hate to buy by the bale. I have weighed bales out of our baler. It is a 5x6 round and just in stalks we have had difference in the hundreds of pounds per bale. We used to do Hay Barley and Alfalfa as well and those bales would be several hundred pounds difference... First cutting was far different than 3rd ctting and depending on who set the balers pressure it could have a huge difference in weight.. I think you are really leaving yourself open to being screwed by doing that.. Let alone not knowing the weight that you are bringing in how do you correctly estimate how much you are feeding your cows.. That bale is about 900 pounds but what if it is actually 700 or 1100? You are either under or over feeding your animals... [/QUOTE]
