Both wheat and barley straw is £1.50 up here and you can get top quality hay if you know where to go for £3 a bale.
I have seen hay as much as £5 a bale but what we got for £3 is as good as it gets,we use it for the horses,goats and my own aswell as all of the Guinea pigs in the rescue

I keep my horses in the Nottingham area, we have to buy our hay & straw from the livery yard, the quality is not brilliant Hay £3.25, straw £2.25, 1 slice/section of haylage £2.00. If you want to buy it in you have to pay an extra £35 a month!! its a nightmare, but finding stables round this area with good turnout and hacking is not easy!!! Im looking for Stables in the Kirkby-in-ashfield area if anyone knows of any?

We are in Essex - paying £4 a bale for hay and £2 for straw Think we all need to move to Cumbria!

I definately need to move!!!! I live in Kent and around here the very very cheapest you would find hay is £3.50, alot of us are paying atleast £4.50 and straw is just as bad at £2.50.
A couple of years ago it was £1.00 for straw and £2.00 for hay, Ridiculous how much things have changed!!!!!!

I pay £30 per big square bale haylage - very good stuff guarenteed ragwort/mould free, I have been using the same bloke for years, and that is also delivered from Penrith, which is a 45min drive from here in a car and he delivers with a huuuge tractor so not too bad!
Straw was ridiculous prices last year - £35 per bale as it was such a wet year, but it's very good stuff, I haven't bought any this year as mine are all still out. Hopefully they will be staying out all winter anyway, plus they're all on a diet!, I only have 8 left now so not too bad, only the mare an her foal and the one due next spring will be getting any great quantity of haylage - the rest can watch them eat from a distance!!!
