The last square bales we bought were when I was trying to train the mustang. J realized she was going to need to be in the barn a lot longer than we had anticipated so he purchased a truckload of square bales.
That was 4 1/2 years ago. With careful management, and using the centers out of round bales when we needed to feed the odd animals in the barn, we were down to our last 1/2 bale.
Then a miracle, I saw a post on Facebook that someone close by was selling horse hay, yay! And at a reasonable price, $4/bale. When we got there though, it was first cutting hay so they gave it to us at $3.75 plus 2 free bales for good measure. Not many people put up square bales anymore so it's nice to find someone close by that we can get a few from.
Now for a little humor.
I would probably try to talk them into all ten, but maybe one at a time. I think they missed the whole point of trying to sell it all.
This was an add on Craig's List. "XX provides careful, personalized transport for your horses and livestock". Looks like they live by the Priority Mail slogan, "If it fits, it ships."

That's a good price on the hay.
Those ads... oy....
Stretching out your hay bales for 4.5 years - that is some very careful hay management.
very sad math issues.
re horse transport: That horse is really trying to make it work.
