Hay Buying Tips
Did you know small square bale hay in our region varies in weight from 45 to 65 lbs per bale? We recommend asking about the square bale weight before considering purchasing your next load. Buyers should be aware that the actual weight of similar looking square bales may be up to 20 lbs difference per bale.
Why does this matter?
If you purchase a full 160 bale load of hay with 45 lb bale weight at a price of $11 per bale the cost per pound you are paying equals to $0.24/lb. (160 bales x 45 lbs = 7200 lbs, 160 bales x $11 per bale = $1760, $1760 / 7200 lbs = $0.24/lb)
By comparison, a full load (160 bales) at 60 lb bale weight priced at $12 per bale costs $0.20/per lb. (160 bales x 60 lbs per bale = 9600 lbs, 160 bales x $12 per bale = $1920, $1920 / 9600 lbs = $0.20/lb)
When comparing bale weight and price per lb, the difference between the two loads is equivalent to receiving an additional 2,400 lbs of hay or 40 extra square bales.
