What hay costs in Colorado
BaleWise tracks 84 hay sellers in Colorado — 20 with listed prices, verified July 23, 2026. Every price is normalized to true cost per US ton (2,000 lb) so a heavy bale and a light bale compare honestly.
Small square bales run $211–615 per US ton across 10 priced listings, with a midpoint of $382/ton. Sticker prices run $8.00–$20.00 per bale — bale weight is what moves the true cost. Large squares: $222–588/ton across 10 priced listings.
Fair-price verdicts below are judged against the Mountain West market midpoint — the same yardstick the live board uses. For distances from you, ZIP search, and price alerts, head to the full board.
