winter forage

Well I have just taken delivery of the mains of our winter haylage, want to be ready for when this now we have been promised shows up! After the poor summers and hard winters we have been having the prices have been going up again, luckily I have managed to get big bales for £25 each I am in Dorset, what are the prices like in other areas at the moment?

About the same in Devon. 2 years ago it was £15 for a round bale, now about £25 - £30.

I moved to a yard where haylage is included last year though.

Re: winter forage

I get small bales for my horse and they're £8.80 a bale! Really good quality stuff though and he loves it! I'm in the Isle of Man!

Re: winter forage

All a fairly similar price down South then, my OH's Dad is in Bucks & I know he usually ends up paying silly money, not just for forage either, even a sack of nuts is about £2 more expensive than down here!

Re: winter forage

The last haylege I could get was £50 for a large bale , small bales are £9.90

I have 2 cobs so use hay, the large bales are £55 each


I use wood pellets for bedding which works out alot cheaper than shavings.
I use 4 a week which costs me £13 where as shavings are £8.95 a bale here.

So depressing living in a expensive area when your poor lol (Berkshire)

Re: winter forage

I feed haylage & pay £25 for MASSIVE square bales & the horses love it.

I have 2 horses one being a TB so she is pumped with hard feed throughout the winter (due to her dropping weight very easily) aswell as haylage & my TBxWelsh just lives on haylage.
