what does everyone think about the shortage of hay/haylage and
even grass? what sort of prices are people paying if they can
get any at all?

We are the same sarah we only paid 30 per bale and now its went
up to £50 if we can even find it and yes i know what your mean
about the farmers most of them have turned their animals to
grass and selling of what ever they have left, (i know alot of
farmers not a guess lol)
but ive seen worse, someone selling 3 bales for £200! joke tbh

small bag, but it would only last 2-3 days
