i think I understood what you meant Karen. sometimes when we talk we forget people might do what we say which could be disastrous where they are. The way it works here pound by pound, sq bales are almost double in price. People don't really use them unless they can buy in bulk and have storage. I have a friend, she buys bales from the feed store, they just jack the price up so high. I just always thought she's so silly, what a nut, then after spending time with her I realized she is single, all alone, no kids or anything, she HAS to feed sq bales and HAS to pay that much, but she has a nice barn to put it in at least! I told my husband about this thread and he said he swears rolls go bad quicker when covered.... oh well. I had to toss a half roll yesterday from all the rain. But I dont have anywhere to keep square bales either and they get wet all the way through easier etc. i think if i could get rid of a certain bass boat that is never used hay storage around here might improve greatly... Another consideration... our hay supplier has a big dry nice barn, about the size of a football field, I mean huge. He delivers when we call him and keeps our annual supply in mind and available at all times. so if I had to buy a lot of hay at once it would go bad. really bad. But as it is its sorta like HE is our storage barn... Janice
