Hay auction

paul · Jun 17, 2020

Too windy to spray. Again. Or fly a drone. Too hot to do real work. In the mid nineties.

So, wife and I went to the hay auction. It’s not quite an hour north of me. Something to do, see something different, haven’t been out in a while. Took a few bales along, hoped to pay for the gas for the trip and maybe the drive through at Culver’s.

Worked out pretty good.

Not my best pic but I hate to show people, or details on such stuff. Was only 12 bundles of hay, and I think 4 sets of round bales.

Even with the wind, it was a hot day.

How did hay sell?

Do you know what the offerings were in terms of composition & what were the prices? I like to keep up to date on that.

Thanks,
Mike

Was only 12 bundles of small squares, all was grass hay. Looked reasonably good all of it, the courser swamp grass hay was $2, the better uniform grass hay was $3.50-5.00 a small square.

Hard to get a good idea from such a small offering, I think more buyers showed up for a bargain this time of year, and ended up those that needed hay had to bid up. The last bundle sold the highest, bet more hay shows up next week again.
