You should definitely go somewhere and weigh 2-3 bales to make sure how much they weigh. We did this the very first time we sold off hay, and were way off of what we thought it would weigh. You never said what kind of hay it is, so I can't tell you if 10-12% would be normal. If it is good, leafy, dry grass hay, then 10-12% protein would be really good.
That's a good idea, but I called him today and confirmed an order. He assures me that 600 will be the low end. We'll see.
As for the type of grass: What I got last year was, I think, a fair amount of canary grass (the broad leaf grass). It was pretty green and very dry (again, except for what was spoiled on the outside). There was some red clover in it and, probably some other grass. I assume there's a lot of canary because we have lots of wet pastures around here. |
How much does a small round bale weigh?
