Here's what I do to weigh my hay. I bought a fish scale at a discount store and had some of those nylon hay nets on hand. I put the flakes of hay in the hay net and hang it from the hook on the fish scale. It was much cheaper than buying a feed scale.
Jayne, AWESOME IDEA,
: thanks so much!

I love them though I actually think they last me longer than the regular bales because I have less waste. It all sticks together so nicely. I can peel off a flake and stick it in my floppy bucket and not loose any in the transfer.
Christine, "this" was what I was hoping would be the case with ours.
: Only, when I broke them open, especially the first one, they just totally fell apart, as if no "squishing" to them was ever done at all. That's what had me so confused as to what the whole purpose of compressing was then, if it wasn't really "compressed"....just seemingly HALF a regular bale, at best.
: The first bale anyways. The one I opened today was a little "better" in quantity of ration at least.

We'll see what they have for tomorrow when we go for more I guess.
