There are 26.67 bales in a ton of hay if each bale is 75 pounds.
That is a tricky question as there are different sizes of square bales ranging from around the 40# to almost 500# weights (those BIG square bales are starting to be used more and more because the shape makes them easier to get an efficient stack and pack then cover. Round bales are the same- In some places I've seen very small round bales in the 40-60# range (not often- and usually saw them in Easter Canada), and the really big bales can weigh close to a ton. The baler, and the forage being baled makes a huge difference in weights and sizes. When buying round bales ask the dimension 4x4, 4x5 and 4x6 are common Then ask what the hay mixture is, and ask the weight of the bales. A good hay "man" will know the answer to all 3 questions. Balers can be set differently to pack loose or really tight bales Tight bales of second cutting 4x4 alfalfa will weigh more than tight 4x4 of a timothy bromegrass and of couse weigh more than a looser bale of same dimensions and forage type. Also ask if the bales are stored under cover or in the field. Undercover bales will have little waste, but are handled more so usually cost a little more.
The number of ounces a horse weighs depends on how many pounds it weighs. Remember one pound is 16 ounces. Equines can weigh anything from 250 pounds for a Miniature horse up to 3000 pounds for a Brabant. That means a horse could weigh in at 4,000 to 48,000 ounces depending on breed.
It depends on the size of the horse, its activity level, and the quality of the hay. On average, a horse would need around 15-20 lbs of hay per day during the winter to meet their nutritional needs. It's important to monitor your horse's body condition and adjust their hay intake accordingly.
That depends on the type of feather. Feathers vary in weight depending on the type of bird and where the feather came from on the bird. To make 1 pound out of small bird feathers can easily take over 1000 feathers. To make 1 pound out of large feathers from an emu or ostrich can take around 200-500, depending on the feathers.

There are 26.67 bales in a ton of hay if each bale is 75 pounds.
Define "conventional." There are many types of bales that are considered conventional from small squares to large round.
One ton = 2200 lbs (A long ton is 2200 lbs whereas a short ton is 2000 lbs.) A ton of hay is usually one large round bale of hay. Large square bales are often 1000 lbs, so a ton could mean 2 of these bales. Furthermore, small square bales weigh around 75 lbs, so a ton of small squares could equal around 27 to 30 bales of hay.
1 ton of hay is about 2 round bales 5' x 5' (diameter x thickness) [1000 lbs/bale] 1 ton of hay is 20 rectangular bales 4' x 2' x 1.5' (length x width x height) [100 lbs/bale] So for the rectangular bales, a stack of hay 4' x 8' x 7.5' (length x width x height) would do it. Not much barn space. Rick
4.5 ton of hay
1.5 (1 and a half) tons.A standard or "short" ton is 2000 lbs. Therefore a 1500 lb. bale of hay would be 3/4 of a ton.
It would depend on what type of hay how much it would cost, also whether it was a small square, a large square, a soft core bale or a hardcore bale. Small square weigh between 75 & 100 lbs, large square are around 800 lbs but can be heavier, soft core around 1200 lbs and large core up to 1800 lbs. It will also depend on whether there is a drought in the area where you want to buy bales.
It depends on how big a bale gets. Some large round bales can weigh up to a ton (2000 lbs), others a little lighter, like around 1200 lbs.
There are 2,00 pounds in a ton.
Since there are 2,000 pounds in one ton (one short ton), the corollary is that there is 1/2000 of a ton in a pound (or .0005 tons in a pound).
