Haven't been able to find them where I live but even the big square bales are usually cheaper then then small bales. Although this year we found a source for small bales at the same price. My goal is to kick the hay habit by using the paddock system and having winter pasture. My mentor is Greg Judy on that, I started last year but did not follow through. Although it did improve the pastures quite a bit. He has a couple of books No Risk Ranching and Comeback Farms with some very good info.
