Price of Hay Defies Gravity

The feed store collected $34 per bale today for alfalfa-grass mix, 20 bales minimum, no change from December.

The single-bale price was $35.

Three years ago the price was $19.

A horse would need around five bales per month, putting the cost at $170 per AUM.

At that rate, you’ll burn through your $1,000 adoption incentive in six months.

Ranchers pay $1.35 per AUM on public lands.
