Have you considered rebating your rounds in the off season into small squares?

And this brings my season to an official close. 116 bales. 11/13 is now the latest I have baled dry. Had 2 days of freeze drying that I got to take advantage of. Probably the first time taking 4 cuttings dry

Yes it is. $6 for 2nd cutting. Haven't moved one yet.One year in Washington I saw lots of hay heading for Texas… seems like a very long way but with drought conditions that year the options were few.
Bales here go for as much as 30 to the elite horse crowd in the greater SF Bay Area and a deal is when prices in the low 20’s can be found…
Interesting how hay varies around the country.
Last couple months hay sales picked up and......................the rounds that I did not think would sell moved fast at $65/4x4 bale. Squares, still haven't sold 100 of the 2nds at $6/bale. Still have over 2000 in the barn of them. Most of 2022 1st cutting carry over sold at $4.50/bale. Just never know what will move and what won't. 4x4 round bale is a 5% savings over the equivalent square bale. Based on bales not weight. Everything in this area is sold by bale. I would prefer to sell by weight but that would come with a lot of customer training.We used to sell a lot of rounds but those have really fell back with more squares leaving.
