Isn’t a branch of Western Hay Company in Ocala? I used to go down there to get hay but instead now drive to Valdosta, GA for straight compressed bales of timothy. Mix it with perrenial peanut hay that I also get in Valdosta.
I am really close to Valdosta, can you PM me the information?

Larson farms is the best place to get good t&a but it is pricey. However, last year they got in a few shipments of the most gorgeous timothy from Canada and were selling it for $8 a bale! It didn’t last long though.
FYI, I can get O/A for $285/ton, 10.50/bale (70lb bales) from Missouri, but the minimum load is 700 bales. I can take 200 or maybe 300. They’ve delivered down here before, used Hylo Farms as a reference, among others. PM me if you might like to go in on a load. I got the contact from the Internet Hay Exchange. Other ideas welcome, too!
make sure that the weight ticket says 49,000 lbs

Tam, I’m feeling challenged by buying hay from so far away. Your warning only reinforced that feeling. I found another deal out of NY at under $8 per bale, delivered to northern Florida (so it might be a little more if it came to central FL) and I do know the farm from when I lived in upstate NY, but it’s still daunting to have to put so much trust in the process.
Anyway, please do keep the suggestions coming. Your experience is priceless!
Actually, I’ve never checked your website before (about hay). What is your opinion on feeding fescue AFTER mares foaling out ones mares?

there are some very very dirty players out there…anyone who says that there is a bale number minimum and then sells by the ton is, I think full of crap…and in the end I think you will find the bales are far from what you think they weigh…
a ton is a ton…and the freight is the freight…they are not interchangeable, so making a “minimum” on a delivery is in itself dishonest I think…you are trying to get around just speaking plainly and naming a price for the value of your time…
the value of the truck and trucker is called the “freight” and the value of your time in the hay is the “price per ton”…your time in the hay starts from the growing and ends when it is delivered to the end user (either by you personally or a freight company you select)…nickle and dime-ing folks is the mark of a small player…

for good fescue hay (12% protein or better/or a 90 RFV) I say wear it out…as the seed heads give the most problem and the good fescue is cut before there are heads…now grazing it may bring some summer slump but most horses are grained year round and the slump would be diluted…
we just put up 50 tons of O/A…it’s just a piddly amount but a good test for the machines for a first cut run…nice to have the barn smell like new hay again…it’s been a long time since last cutting in Nov…

I have had really good luck finding great quality hay at OBS…the one located next to the Tack Shack.
It takes me about 40 mins to get there but it is really worth it…it seems like the quality of the hay is always consistent. I used to like Larsens compressed Timothy, but it seems like you get more for your money with the 3 string bales of Timothy from OBS. The Timothy is always super green, and the alfalfa is beautiful, but I don’t feed it.
I can’t buy large quantities because I board and don’t have a lot of room to store it, but maybe if you buy it in bulk you can get a better deal. I think I usually pay a little over $30 a bale, but the bales are well over 100 lbs.
Ouch - that’s $600/ton! That is crazy! T/A is hovering around the $400/ton mark and alfalfa just a little lower. I don’t use O/A or straight timothy but that seems a little steep. You can usually get the price break if you can order at least a half ton instead of buying by the bale.
this really sounds good
Tamara, does your hay have to be delivered in semi loads? I can’t fit a semi into my place, but your hay looks good. If you can send it on something smaller than a semi, can you PM me what your delivery charge is to Ocala?
edited as I cannot read
hello
no it does not have to be…but the freight charge is just a flat fee for the driver and the mileage…so 1 bale or 800 there is no difference that way…
would you please call Calvin 423 346 7909 and speak with him…? he is not able to be on the COTH…and he sets all the prices and freight…
(good grief learn read Tamara) freight to Ocala with our people to unload from truck to ground $1500…commerical carrier you unload $1100

The bales eks is referring too run about 135-145lbs. So, around $430/ton. I think Larsen’s is currently $395/ton.
I would be extremely interested in sharing a load with someone! I am so nervous about trying to find hay down there, I am used to paying $3 a bale of alfalfa and $78 for the 3x3x8 bales of alfalfa/timothy mix. I am going to be in hay shock, I think!
