I really *really* REALLY hope you mean $3-5 per 50 lb bale and not larger 
100 lb bales, because otherwise I'm going to get really envious and turn 
green or something.  Right now we can get $3.80/50 lb bale (delivered, in 
bulk) for straight Rio Grande Valley grown alfalfa (horse grade).  However 
we are looking into buying a sample bale of half ton grass/alfalfa square 
bales for a mere $40.  Unless these are totally crappy moldy hay, they will 
be the steal of the century!  Unfortunately we don't have any heavy 
equipment here to move them, so that would be a challenge!  Lif
