Please be more specific. What do you mean by this question, are you referring to how long a bale of hay will last when fed to livestock? How many livestock are you asking about? What type or class? What size is the bale, what type, what weight? What does it comprise of (i.e., grass only, legume only, or legume-grass)? All of these questions need to be answered before this question can actually be answered.
About $13.00 per bale or $230 per ton as of February 1, 2014.
The cost of a bale of hay can vary depending on the type of hay, location, and quality. On average, a bale of hay can range from $5 to $15 per bale. Prices may fluctuate based on market conditions and seasonal factors.
75-100 bales depending on the type of hay, 1st or 2nd cutting , and the size of the bale.
It depends on what kind of hay (e.g. grass, alfalfa, blended), but generally 800 to 1,000 pounds per bale.
To my calculations when i studied history with my teacher he said that them bales of hay costed him about 25 cents per hay stack if only gas were like that
Typical square bale will weigh between 60 to 120 pounds depending on moisture content and density of material in the bale. Yields of hay very greatly from .05 to 6 ton per acre. Given an average weight of 80 lbs. per bale and average yield of 2.0 ton per acre, one could expect to yield 20-25 square bales per acre.
A horse eats roughly 2 % of it's bodyweight per day in hay/ roughage. So a 1,000 pound horse would eat around 20 pounds a day. A typical 2-string square bale is around 40 pounds, so that would be half a bale per day. A 3-string bale can be 100 to 140 pounds on average so that would be a one seventh to one fifth of one of those bales.Round bales typically are 600 pounds and up so that would be one thirtieth of a bale.
4.5 ton of hay
A light working 1200 pound horse would typically be fed about 10-15 pounds of hay per day, which translates to approximately 5-7 flakes of hay. The exact number of flakes can vary depending on the size and weight of each individual flake. Splitting the hay into multiple feedings throughout the day is recommended for better digestion.
The amount of Hay Bales that you yield from one acre is dependant on many variables. This includes the rate per acre it was seeded at, the ratio of grass to alfalfa used, and the size of the bale. It is also dependant on how many cuttings are available in one year. Usually land seeded for hay is planted at 20-30lbs per acre. 3 cuttings per year is often the norm, however, depending on the weather it is possible to obtain a fourth cutting (a fith cutting is rare). Hay usually takes the first year to establish itself. Therefor it is likely to only harvest 20-30 bales in the first cutting of the first year. The following cuttings decrease in production. In the 2-4 years, after the hay has been established, the first cutting is the largest and can produce anywhere from 75-100 bales of hay per acre. The second cutting usually yields 50-75 bales, and it continues to decrease from there. Most farmers anticipate a rough yield of about 200-250 bales per year, after the first year, and provided the weather is good. Hay is a five year crop that is harvested anywhere from 3-5 times during the summer months. Pricing is dependant on the quality of hay; pure alfalfa sells the highest, and typically the price decreases from there depending on the ratio of alfalfa in the bale, and the "leafiness of the bale"
This depends on the size of the bale, whether it's a small square bale or a large round bale. A cow will eat 2.5% to 4% of her body weight per day. For a 1000 lb cow, that's 25 lbs to 40 lbs per day respectively, dry or lactating, respectively (lactating cows tend to eat 50% more than if they were dry). For a 1800 lb cow, that's 45 lbs dry to 72 lbs lactating per day, respectively.One small square bale of hay weighing around 75 lbs will feed one 1800 lb lactating cow per day, not counting wastage percentage. A dry 1800 lb cow will eat that bale up in around 1.8 days. That same small square bale will feed a dry 1000 lb cow around 3 days, and when she's lactating and suckling a calf, around 2 days.A large round bale of hay weighing 2200 lbs (one ton) will feed a lactating 1800 lb cow for 30 days. When she's dry, the bale will last her for less than 50 days. As for the 1000 lb lactating momma, that 2200 lb bale will last her for 55 days. When she's dry, she will be on it for 88 days.So translating that on a bale-per-day basis, here's the results, assuming no waste:1800 lb cow, lactating, fed small 75 lb square bale: 0.96 bales/day1800 lb cow, dry, fed small 75 lb square bale: 0.6 bales/day1000 lb cow, lactating, fed small 75 lb square bale: 0.5 bales/day1000 lb cow, dry, fed small 75 lb square bale: 0.333 bales/day1800 lb cow, lactating, fed large 2200 lb round bale: 0.033 bales/day1800 lb cow, dry, fed large 2200 lb round bale: 0.02 bales/day1000 lb cow, lactating, fed large 2200 lb round bale: 0.018 bales/day1000 lb cow, dry, fed large 2200 lb round bale: 0.011 bales/day
Its by the bale, and it really depends on where you live, the quality, where you buy it from. I have seen it anywhere from $6 to $15. hope this helps alittle bit
