    So much money tied up in equipment... The scale of things nowadays is crazy. I grow enough hay to feed my horses and a few bales to sell, peanuts really, all my hay equipment put together wouldn't add up to ten thousand dollars canadian. Deering horse mower, 477 haybine, horse dump rake, JD side delivery rake, MF 12 square baler, Hesston 540 round baler, home made ground drive small bale loader and 3 flat racks, buckrake for the loader, and an elevator. All old and built or rebuilt and fixed by me.

    The problem with horse hay isn't the horses. It's the horse people who make it difficult. Good luck with your biz! If farming was easy, every one would do it.👍

    Picky horse owners, bet they'll be fighting over that "bad" hay during the next drought...
    Last fall I bought some "stuck together, dusty" grass hay for our dairy cow, she loves it.
    Sample came back 101 RFV and everything else tested over median for mixed grass.

    I was wondering why you don’t use liquid preservatives? And does the silo king preservatives fall through the hay to the bottom of your stuffer chamber

    Man, this makes me feel like I made a mistake. I just received my Gandy 45 Forage box. Have to make a mounting bracket for it. Hopefully it will work for me. I’d guess $15 for the good and $5 for the discolored.

  • @libertarianman69

    I am going with 11 and 8. Of course I don't know what state auraria you are in but in my area here in Indiana I can get the best alfalfa and orchard grass hay around $8.50 a bale. The alfalfa mixed with grass goes for around 7 and it is also very good quality. We are not feeding horses we are feeding spoiled goats. I find it cheaper to buy the best hay because they do not pick through it and waste 80% of the bail like they do a mixed Bale.
