How big is a 100 lb bale of hay?

How many tons is a 1500 pound square bale of hay?

1.5 (1 and a half) tons.A standard or "short" ton is 2000 lbs. Therefore a 1500 lb. bale of hay would be 3/4 of a ton.

How much does it cost to produce one bale of hay?

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

How many small bale of hay in a 3x3x8 square bale?

Depends on the weight of the bales (both the small squares and large round) and whether that bale is comprised of hay or straw. All bales of hay, straw or baleage are sold in terms of weight (in tons or pounds), not size. Not all LRB's are going to be 5x5; a lot of them range from 4x5 to 6x6. And even then it also depends on how densely packed they are, which ultimately affects their weight. However, let's assume your asking about a 5x5 1500 lb LRB and wondering how many SSBs (assuming they are around 75 lbs each) fit into that particular bale or bales with that similar weight. So, 1500 / 75 = 20 bales; thus it is estimated that 20 SSBs will fit into one 5x5 LRB assuming the weights are what they are.

How many small square bales of hay in a big square bale?

If by one roll of hay, you actually mean a round bale, it is approximately 40. The actual number depends on the density and size of either bale. With modern equipment becoming ever more impressive, I've heard of some round bales being equivalent to nearly 55 square bales, but when packing round bales to these densities, balers are severely stressed and its operating life is greatly reduced. A better way to figure it out is by weight. A 1100 lb round bale has approx. 17/ 65lb square bales Not all round bales are created equal, you need to ask the weight of the bales then divide the # of square bales at the weight your square bales are.

How much hay does a 900 pounds horse need in a day if every horse needs fed per day 2.2 pounds of hay per 100 pounds of body weight?

How many 4x5 bales of hay is needed to feed 100 cows for 180 days?

Weight of the bales will help here. When we have the weight of each 4x5 bale, then we can properly calculate an estimate of how much is needed to feed 100 cows for 180 days.Remember that one cow will eat at least 2.5% of her body weight, often more during cold periods and when she's nursing a calf (which can be upwards to around 4% of her body weight). Assuming that your cows are all around 1000 lbs (which they probably aren't), then, all together, they will be eating around 2500 to 4000 lbs of hay per day. Let's go the safer route of over-estimating the amount they eat and say that they eat 4000 lbs per day. To calculate, 4000 lbs/day x 180 days = 720,000 lbs or more of hay is needed during that time period.Now, as for the weight of the bales, we can only assume here. So let's say that a good compacted 4' x 5' large round bale of hay weighs around 1200 lbs. So going with our estimate of needing to have 720,000 lbs of hay over 180 days for 100 cows, that means you will need 720,000 lbs / 1200 lbs per bale = 600 bales.I would definitely not get 600 bales, as there is a risk that you may run short. It's better to have too much hay than too little. And also know the average weight of your cowherd so you can make a PROPER estimate over 180 days of how much hay you ACTUALLY need. You may have an average herd size of 1400 lbs; you may have a herd that is mixed of different ages and sizes of cattle, which also need to be taken into account. So please, know the weights of each 4' x 5' bale, AND the average weight of your cowherd.Just for kicks, lets see the difference in number of bales for 100 x 1000 lb cows to the number of bales for 100 x 1400 lb cows.1400 lb x 0.04 = 56 lb/day56 lb/day/cow x 100 cows = 5600 lbs/day5600 lbs/day x 180 days = 1,008,000 lbs of hay1,008,000 lbs x 1200 lbs/bale = 840 balesSo you see the differences? Pretty remarkable, eh? So once you know how to calculate everything out, then you will know how many bales to get. Don't be afraid to over do it, like in this second example, you may want to get 850 or even 875 bales instead of 840. And in the first example, you may want to get 650 bales instead of 600.
