Hay Searching In Maine?
right now I am searching for hay in Maine to get pricing, I haven't had much luck online searching. Does anyone maybe know an online listing you can easily find hay cutters in Maine with their pricing? I am looking to buy a decent amount of hay for an Irish Cob or Gypsy Vanner (still on the search but making sure I have the basics down packed) thanks for your help so much!!
wow, i found one thing online but it was for 2012 and it said 2 bucks a bale, a newer one which was too far away from my house was 4 bucks a bale. so wow if its 20 bucks xD I might buy like a 100 bales to last a while as I see it as the horse will probably eat 1 1/2 bales a day as it will have grass 24/7. So 100 bales will last a good chunk. :) thanks for the info!!

I actually find a ton of great hay dealers on craigslist. Just go to farm and Garden and type in hay. I don't know where in Maine you are but it should help. This is all of maine I believe.

Another thing to try is to call up local boarding stables in the area and ask where they get their hay if you are looking to buy in bulk like over 20 bales at a shot. They will more then likely be happy to point you in the direction of some good hay.
If you only want to buy a bale or two at a shot you could call up your local feed stores they would have some. But be prepared for the mark up. I live in Fl and if were to buy a bale of T&A from the dealer its 12 bucks. The same hay at my local feedstore is 21 bucks.
Edit: LOL I live in lovely Florida where the horses would starve without a half dozen lbs of grain and some Alfalfa because the hay here is cruddy. Only hay I've ever seen that comes out of the field dark brown and that's the good stuff. So we get our stuff when possible trucked in which means you pay for it since its coming from either Kentucky, New York, or Arizona usually.
If you can buy a truckload which is usually 200 to 300 bales at a time you will save big. If I had the space I would do that. My local hay dealer sells T&A 60lb bales for 13 bucks a piece if you buy the whole truck he will drop the price to 12 bucks a bale. Which with 300 bales is a 300 dollar savings
