Busterduck,

Do they normally have the small round bales at the auction? Without alfalfa.

I don't have enough horses to finish off the larger round bales.

Sparks,

I'm not sure what we will get in. Haven't had any luck so far with finding sellers with rounds. I bought some of the large square bales and broke the strings and then ratchet strapped each side. It worked for me. I now use one large square like two round bales. I guess you could do the same or hopefully we'll get in some round bales. I'll try to let you all know if we get any in before the next auction.

What is your problem?

Anyone interested in buying some large squares can either wait until the next auction or pm me.

Happy, if you TRULY want to know the inner workings of the auction then just give me a call; you have my number.

Thanks

All types of hay from alfalfa, orchard, timothy, lespedeza. NOTHING under six dollars a bale. I got some really nice bales at $6. Big and heavy; I only took forty of the lot but am kicking myself because I should have bought the entire lot.

Good Lord! I had no idea what hay was going for these days. I lived in texas in the late 80s and could buy then for $1.75 a bale if I remember correctly. I'm moving soon to a place where land and horses are again a possibility for me but alas grazing is poor there. I hate to think what it would cost to keep a couple horses and ponies for the kids. What is the going rate for shoeing these days? I cringe to think....
