I grow and sell hay and most of my customers are horse owners. To own a horse is a luxury and horse owners are willing to spend good money to feed their luxury. In contrast, a beef or dairy farmer is in business to make money and can only spend so much on hay. I price my hay depending on quality. When asked I"ll tell the good or bad about each cutting. Some customers are quality buyers and some are price buyers. If it isn"t horse hay i won"t sell it as horse hay. Many times standards are relaxed later in the season as good hay becomes scarce and prices go up. From the beginning I"ve had a satisfaction guarantee and will offer a replacement or refund if unsatisfied. The key here is that I don"t offer delivery so it has to be bad enough for the customer to make the effort to bring it back to me. It also helps that the customer comes to my farm, sees what I have, what the price is, and can decide if they want it before I touch the first bale. I"d hate to deliver a load and have the customer say that wasn"t what they wanted or want to haggle on price. As a side note, most of my customer"s horses are old horses that have out lived a childs interest or a racing career. My three year old daughter loves horses and wants one in the worst way. When she gets old enough to help care for it I"m sure we"ll have to get her one. My biggest fear is she"ll grow up, go off to college, move out, get married and I"ll be stuck caring for an old horse. With an average lifespan of 10 years dogs are great and outdoor cats who seem to last only 3 years are even better. Now with a horse you"re making a 30-40 year commitment.
