 Parker Plant Depot: located in Pittsville, Md. Ask for Tom at 410- 726- 2887 for price and delivery options. 

Frank Chick Jr from Chicks posted : “We have horse quality round bales for $58 at Chicks in Harrington DE. Give us a call 302-270-4432. Delivery Available!!!”

Paul Rineholt  ……. posted: “I have round bails. There mostly grass hay. They sat out over winter but still in good shape. 30 bucks a bail. Can be used for horses but best for cows. But must be picked up. Private message would be preferred if need for more info. Located in Cambridge MD on Palmer Farms “

My suggestion is you never know what quality you will find at public auctions! Why not try Randy Ridgely Auctions, held at his farm Wicked R in Camden, Wyoming.  His next auction will be May 31.
