I just saw a farm off the highway on the way to the barn and they had a for sale sign in front of their round bales. They used a tractor to load it up and we just took the tailgate off and rolled it out when we got to Boomer's shed. I would say that he is a little under half way done with it and it has been exactly two weeks... I will try to remember to post how long it takes to finish it and we can figure out how much it must have weighed! I could probably ask the farmer I bought it from next time I buy one too! We were buying small bales for $8 for a 50 pound bale, which lasted about 3 days.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14208998958861055873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533150033130104703.post-57654726510133059872008-12-26T00:39:00.000-06:002008-12-26T00:39:00.000-06:00I wonder what our round bales weigh..

I saw a craigslist post, and I believe they were 75$ each, and they'd haul to the Seattle area with like.. a 16 minimum.. so that'd definitely make it worth while to haul all those miles and hours...<BR/><BR/>So I'm totally jealous you got a round bale for $25!! our 100 or 120 lbs.. or something bales.. are $16 each. What I'd do for a round bale of 600-800 lbs for $25... I'd threaten to move to your location, that's for sure! I would be surprised if your round bales don't weigh 1000 lbs. So I look forward to hearing what it weighs once you've used it up. Might last a couple months though!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01555433402389131682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533150033130104703.post-55787956334573195542008-12-24T12:49:00.000-06:002008-12-24T12:49:00.000-06:00My guess would be between 600 and 800 pounds. It ...My guess would be between 600 and 800 pounds. It weighed the truck bed down quite a bit, but John and I were able to roll it out of the bed ourselves. I'm not sure how much it weighs though. I'll be sure to post when It is finally used up, it will be interesting to see how long it lasts!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14208998958861055873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533150033130104703.post-71273261136190495952008-12-23T15:20:00.000-06:002008-12-23T15:20:00.000-06:00How much did that round bale weigh?How much do rou...How much did that round bale weigh?<BR/>How much do round bales weigh in your neck of the woods?Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01555433402389131682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533150033130104703.post-84930562899202172332008-12-20T19:57:00.000-06:002008-12-20T19:57:00.000-06:00WOW! a round bale for $25???

WOW!!!<BR/>how much do round bales weigh in your neck of the woods? as for warm water for the critters.. our barn for our horse, he can go in and out as he pleases, and there is electricity in it, so I bought a water bucket deicer, plugged in in and put it in the water and within 20 minutes all the ice and snow and forming ice was gone! it heats the water to 40 degrees. I AM SO HAPPY WITH THAT! I don't know what I'd do without it! any other option would be too much time/work, etc. And breaking ice is no fun! especially 3 TIMES A DAY! seriously no fun! Past years we've hauled out buckets of steaming hot water when we had goats on our half acre property, but now all the critters live on the couple acres with the horse and water heater, so no more worries for me! Anyways, I cant wait to see your your round bales weigh.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01555433402389131682noreply@blogger.com
