Good quality timothy/orchard grass hay is 3.50-4.00 around here. Alfalfa is higher - 5.00+. Fescue/orchard grass hay (pretty much the norm in the old pastures around here) is about 3.00 a bale.

I sold the last of my orchard/brome grass hay for $5. a bale and the 3d cutting alfalfa for $6. Sold the last in Oct. Almost wish I had been greedy but it's not my way to drive people to get rid of their animals because they can't afford hay. Tonight I heard nice alfalfa is $10 per 60 lb bale. Lots of Colorado hay went to Texas and Ok this last fall.

I have sold some fair quality bermuda hay and very good quality prairie hay for $100/ bale. The bermuda weighed 1500 each and the prairie hay weighed 1690 each. The hay was baled with a Vermeer 605K baler. Still have around 50 bales left. Wish I had more to sell because I have had to turn quite a few people away.

I sold out all 6500 small square 42 pound kickers this fall very quickly. Timothy and other mixed grasses $3.25 a bale at the barn. Second was $4.25. I am sure had I held on till this winter I could have gotten .50 more but my equipment under cover is worth that to me. Not a bale had been rained on.

Our Tenant is getting $4.50 up to $6 a bale for Brome/Orchard, Brome/Timothy or mix lots of Alfalfa & grass bales, high density clover/grass mixes goes to the high end on price, all small kicker bales. Round bales, 5 footers(mostly fescue) are toting a hefty $28 a bale sitting, you pick up and haul. They are getting $4.50 for straw too.

Coastal squares are bringing 11.50 to 12.00 a bale due to drought. Big rounds from 85.00 to 120.00. It's really bad but we've had good rain so far this year.
