2023 - Unprecedented rain is causing a delay , but starting to bale today, June 23. Some will be rained on, but still Horse Quality, and also have more to cut and bale, hopefully w/no rain.
May 23, 2021 Just cut Orchard Brome Grass hay mixed w/around 15% Alfalfa and hope to bale in 5 days. Hay was not quite ready, so I didn't cut a lot, but what I did cut is Very young, tender and FINE Stem. Cutting early makes Great hay, but yields are sacrificed so this hay will be pricier now than hay baled in a week or 2.
I will bale smalls and some 3x3x8 big bales. Price on this hay is not certain till baled, but maybe around $8.50 per small square bale. Prices can change as inventory changes and of course weather. Depending on weather, I will probably cut STRIAGHT Orchard Brome grass in a few days. Call or email is fine, 9703711352
July 9, 2020 Beautiful 2ND cut in barn and more to bale. Grass Alfalfa and mix around 70%grass. Yields very low with the past month of low rain/ HIGH Heat. On the positive side, its GREAT Quality! Prices also up from 1st because of drought, so thanks to my customers who stocked up on cheaper 1st! Prices can change as many factors, water, weather, yields change, but are currently around $9-9.75, and limited amounts until I get my many long time repeat customers taken care of.
I do still have some 1st cut 3x3 in barn of grass or alfalfa and some 2nd cut soon. 9703711352

We baled some Exceptional Alfalfa! Its 1st cut, but was very small when cut, so it looks just like 3rd!! Very fine stem, Leafy, Soft and GREEN! Heavier than normal bales, $8.25-8.75 as currently alfalfa supply is way down. Again, this alf looks as nice as 3rd cut!
I also still have a very small amount of straight grass and Mix hay in BARN, As well as 3x3's of Grass or Alfalfa, $88-105 per bale. The alf is 850lbs and grass is 725lbs.
I expect to cut 2ND cut Grass and Alf/Grass mix soon, HOPE TO HAVE IT BALED BEFORE MID JULY!! It looks great. Maybe $8-8.75 range, depending on yield and water outlook?
Keep an eye on the weather as were getting into drought conditions if rain pattern does not change. Hay yields have already been low on 1st cut, and if heat takes its toll, hay prices may climb.

Just baled 1st cut Orchard Brome grass and Alfalfa Grass mix. Cut early so very HIGH Quality, fine stem! Currently $7-7.75, but my prices should go down as I get more hay up. I'm already seeing some high prices on 2020 hay. I grown and produce a lot of Excellent hay, no middle man or broker, and plan on keeping prices low. Last spring, when others were over $9, I was around $7 for Superior Quality hay! Best to call me for most current prices and info, 9703711352
Also keep in mind, My 1st cut makes great feed for horses. While my 2nd/3rd is SUPER Soft and Leafy, its higher priced. 1st, while having more stem, is often the Better choice for many horses. Ask any intelligent vet.
3/24/2020 Last May/ June, I had Excellent Orchard brome grass or mix at $6-7, while others were selling hay above $9. Don't be like the others, overpaying for hay! Be an informed hay buyer!
My hay is grown on my farms, SE of Greeley, and customers often tell me, my hay is the Highest Quality around. We take a lot of time putting up quality hay. Feel free to call me about your upcoming Alfalfa, Grass or Mix needs, in Smalls, 3x3's, and some 21 bale bundles. Alan 9703711352
August 7, 2019 Hope to start 3RD cutting hay in a week or so! I still have Very nice 2nd cut Grass mixed w/25% alfalfa for $8.50. Great Quality and cheaper than other sellers. I also have Alfalfa 2nd cut for $7.75-8.75 and Straight grass in barn, $8.25-9.25. All hay is Good to Supreme Quality and 3rd will be as good or Better, call w/questions, thanks. 9703711352

Just started cutting 2nd cut Orchard Brome Grass and also cut a mix of Alfalfa and Grass. Looks very nice, hope to bale 7/12/19. Will be cutting and bailing most of July as i have 400 acres.
Prices seem high so for on 1st cut, but at $7.50-8.50, I am lower than other producers, even though I can GUARANTEE my hay is equal or BETTER than most hay. Not sure what prices will be on the 2nd cut, i will know more when baled.
I also have very nice 3x3 big bales in my barn, $80-90 per bale and some $60 outside.
Call as i dont update this site as often as i would like because just too busy bailing hay.

Just baled fresh new orchard brome grass and Alfalfa Grass mix(mostly grass). Several choices. Lots with NO Rain, and some w/rain but still VERY good Hay, $6-8.50 at BARN in La Salle or Delivery avail. Prices subject to charge as inventory and weather change. Call for exact quotes, Thanks.
Also have 3x3x8 big bales of grass or alfalfa or Mix, $60-90, Barn stored or outside.
Don't let the fear of rained on hay break your pocket book. Rained on hay still makes good feed if dried and baled right like I do. I have several rakes that fluff that hay and dry it out fast, and is much cheaper!!
2ND CUT Alfalfa by mid july. Grass too. Feel free to call or email me about your animals hay requirements! Alan Oster, 970 371 1352 or Kano2u@aol.com
