Why it Really is Cheaper to Buy Hay, Straw, and Wood Shavings Online

Any livestock sales or feeing operation such as farms, ranches, and AFOs knows that keeping livestock comfortable, clean, and well-fed with not only enough hay or straw but the best nutritional quality hay or straw, is the way to generate higher quality livestock. So higher quality hay, straw, and wood shavings equals higher quality livestock, which equals more profits and a more successful business!

Many sales and feeding operations produce their own hay, straw, or wood shavings. Tim Cross, a Professor of Agricultural Economics at the University of Tennessee, points out in his report “Should I Buy Hay?” that sometimes you can save more money by producing your own hay, straw, and wood shavings. However, his data indicates that it’s a fine line between saving money with self-production of hay, straw, and woods shavings and self-production being more expensive than the purchase price when you take into consideration the amount of livestock and land you have.

The labor and machinery costs involved in producing your own hay, straw, and wood shavings also easily contribute to the overall high cost of self-production. More often than not, it really is just cheaper and easier for you to buy hay, straw, and wood shavings in bulk and turn your attentions to the more practical needs of your livestock operation.

Shipping all of that hay, straw, or wood shavings to your operation definitely seems like it would cost too much. You’re probably also worried that you won’t get quality material if you can’t “try before you buy.” If you’re worried about cost or quality, just find a certified hay, straw, or wood shavings distributor like Aden Brook Farms at www.adenbrookfarms.com to take all of those stresses off of your hands!
