When does this occur? Do they hold it during the winter?
Is there a website for information?

Yeah the first of the season was today. Not a lot of hay, heard there should be more next time. Why was there was okay to pretty nice. Orchard grass, Timothy mix and alfalfa. Prices were about $7-9 for small squares.

Hey Phyx do you know how the round bales went?
Usually in a large truck or wagon

That's high.
I'll probably be road tripping up to Pennsylvania if the prices at the auction stay so high.
PA hay is so much better for the horses then local hay just because the soil is so much better, plus the further north you go, the temps are cooler so less weeds in the mix.

Sorry for the lack of multi-quotes, I'm on my phone.
Prices last year varied a lot. From really nice hay for $3.25 to not so nice hay that was going for twice that. People go a little taxi and just start bidding up and up.
Shelley rounds were around $60-$70.

The trouble with the Cheltenhem auction is those who need only one or two rounds every 2 weeks are willing to bid substantially more, hence the astronomical highs.
Peeps who buy in large quantities mean more income for a longer period for suppliers - so there needs to be a forum to introduce hay suppliers to buyers willing to pay a fair figure in order to develop contracts/relationships for the entire season. That will make the trip to the auction worthwhile, will encourage suppliers to continue to do business long range and will have a lasting effect on both ends.
I am looking to get 400 bales(squares) want to bring me some paso?
That's because there's a biiiiiig difference in the soil between here and PA.That's a biiiiiiiiig generalization.
Phyx do you remember how much the alfalfa bales were and how good they looked?
