What size are your bales? Do you mean square bales or round bales at $20.25

because our round bales are $40.00 a bale and the square bales are only $7 50 a bale. Oh and what is a stick of alfalfa? We don't get grass in bales here just hay and straw but we tend to have the same problems as you with the feed situation and feeding what everyone else is feeding. AA -------Original Message-------
