I'm currently paying £7.99 where I used to pay £4.00
Our normal farm ran out ages ago and this farm has to buy it in from wherever it can. They aren't making anything out of the extra - it's what the market value is down here at the moment. So hay bill has doubled and it's not going to end until the next harvest so June at best I guess
Same here in Kent - it's been a very steep rise this year. I just hope they get a good cut this year as decent quality hay is getting harder and harder to find.
Lizzyjm could you order the big bags of Timothy Hay from somewhere like The Hay Experts website? I think they do bags of around 50-60kg, although not cheap, still much cheaper than paying £5 per kilo.
£8.44 a bale here this week and I use at least 3 bales a week
