I am lucky, I have a friend that I buy from for $8 a bale, and around here that's cheap. Hay here in Idaho is between $175 to $250 a ton or $10 to $13 a bale. And there isn't any price difference between grass, grass alfalfa, and straight alfalfa. There is alot of price gouging going on around here, prices just shot up from one season to the next. I miss the days when I could bring in a ton of hay and it only cost me $85. We also have to deal with the cheating hay sellers that will short you several bales when they sell by the ton and the bales are not has heavy as they claim. Just bad business, but people put up with it.

I'm having trouble finding good hay, also. Someone on (what else)C.L. is selling "slightly moldy" hay for goats!
I hope no one actually buys it for goats. Mold is not a good thing!
Yikes...I hope not! :eek:

I've thrown away bales of hay that I thought smelled a little moldy, I wouldn't take the chance.

Well, I thought I was good for a year and then went out and counted my bales. I will have to go out and buy some more hay now. Of course now everyone that had a CL ad in August is sold out. So now I'm scrambling. Luckily I only need about 30 bales of hay to make it till next year's second cutting hay.
