A ton of hay, is a ton of hay, no matter how many bales it has in it,, it's a ton. Why not get some hay that has bales that don't leave you with a hernia when you move them?

Are you tired of paying feed store prices, and having to haul all your hay yourself?

I'm coming from Selah (Eastern WA) to Woodland and will be bringing 75 bale minimum loads of hay with me. This is Yakima Valley Grown, good quality grass & grass/alfalfa mixed hay. Nice, clean, dry and nutritious. Eastern Washington hay is known for it's quality Selenium content.

We sort cattle quality from horse quality,,, Cow Hay is sold out.

I have ALOT of First cutting, Orchard (Selah Grown) with a little Blue and rye mix grass in it, clean and dry, put up soft so it's not like straw.

150 bales left of the same hay listed above, just the second cutting, nice green, fine soft hay, horses think it's delicious.

I also have 600 bales of second cutting Orchard 60% and Alfalfa 40% Yakima Grown), well into bloom going to seed and not too hot for horses. This one is the most popular with horse people out here because it makes for fat, shiney horses with out making them idiots.

This is nice clean tarped hay. My bale middles are absolutely garenteed for quality and I offer free replacements for all returned bales, with my regular customers. Bale ends WILL have sun bleaching, possible moisture and discoloration from weather & snow on the end flake. I do not garentee picky horses will always eat my hay and my return policy does not cover picky horses. There actually needs to be something wrong with the hay.

My price is $11.00 each bale, delivered to your door with in the Woodland-ish area. With a 75 bale minimum... you can share it with friends, they can buy part of the load from you,, But I only make one stop..

Please! You must have enough room to manuever a large pick up truck and trailer. No obstacle courses Please!

This is a 75 bale load MINIMUM.

I'll deliver for this price to anyone within 15 miles off I-5, down to the Woodland area.(Woodland is where I end up to visit my daughter) If you are further I will gladly still bring you hay, but will need to charge extra fuel & time to deliver.

I will help roll it off my rig, it'll be up to you to stack it where you want it ,,,, I DO NOT STACK HAY and I don't even own an elevator right now.

The bales are 90 to 105 lbs average (easier to handle) depends on what flavor you pick as to the average bale weights.

Cash only please ( NO CHECKS ),,, sorry,, there are just too many horse poor folks wanting free hay this time of year. So there will be NO exceptions. $825.00 Cash,is the total delivered ****Within 15 miles of I-5 in the Mid to southern Cowlitz County & Northern most areas of Clark County.*****

I can deliver beyond that area, but I do charge more for my time and fuel and do have some limitations of how far I will go due to loading schedules and the pass being froze over at night. And No heater in my delivery truck. I have to draw the line at chosing between my life and a making a couple bucks trying to make a job for myself..


If all you have is a credit card right now, we can also work with Pay Pal to get this done.

Email with an address and phone number. I do a run every other day,


PLEASE, I have taken my delivery truck in the the Chevy dealers and they can't seem to fix my trucks problems of sputtering on steep hills. Please I cannot do long, really steep hills right now. I am looking for a Kodiak or Top Kick type truck if you happen to know of one for sale! Must be diesel ( cat or DT 466 preferred) and have at least an 18 foot bed, NO CDL required, under 250K miles. I even have a beautiful 2005 4 horse GN Trails West Sante Fe to use as a trade if someone would let me.

That is kind of high for hay. We sold our clover/grass hay combo mix that are that size of bales for 2.25 a bale. Its very good quality and my horses are fat as hogs on it... 11 bucks a bale is crazy for grass hay.

I called a week ago to the Barton Feed in Oregon and he wanted $ 14.99 a bale for grass hay. Yikes !!!!

got any left? Where are you located? I am paying $9.75 (which is the cheapest around) and its $11 for new customers because of hay shortage and diesel prices for #80-90 excellent quality eastern orchard grass. The feed stores want $14 for a #100 .

Last year I got my hay from a international dealer in Ellensburg on Kittitas Hwy. It was NOT Anderson hay, a different one.
$80/ton for 90%- meaning the bales were 90-95% good from either sun staining or the occansional bale had a little mud or mold on the end. They only will ship 100% bales international, so they had this HUGE stack of refused hay that was top quality for an amazing price. They even help you load, and they weigh you on the way out, so you pay the exact amount, so you KNOW what your getting. And they will let you rip open any bale, at any time to see what your getting.
I don't remember the name but I could get it.

Wow i wish i could get bales of hay for 2.00 + or 80.00 a ton. I am paying 13.00 per bale of hay. If anyone out there knows where to get good quality hay for cheap prices in southern California please let me know,
Thanks

PRIME HAY IN ELLENSBERG ALSO HAS THE KICK BACKS THAT DON'T GO INTERNATIONAL, VERY REASONABLE.

Good grief, we sold our hay for $60 a ton (out of the field), now it's $150 and we are turning people down left and right--The hay market is predicted to have this shortage problem for another 5 years....The thing that ticks me off, is people are constantly calling saying "I had bought 5 ton of hay this last summer for my 12 horses and ran out!!! I need hay or my horses will starve!" We honestly get calls like this everyday....I always tell people, for mild winters like ours you need to have 4 ton PER HEAD.....Calculate people!!!

[atticus]

I Just paid 13.75 per bale for eastern OR grass, so 11.00 a bale = GOOD DEAL!!

[cybercat]

I agree, I think the price is decent, and I'll tell you what, the ad sounds good enough that I might want to taste the hay myself....sounds yummy, don't ya think?
