Hay Price Calculator
Extension has released a powerful update to the Hay Price Calculator application. Designed to take the guesswork out of hay transactions, the app now puts real-time, nationwide market intelligence directly into your pocket. This latest version transforms the app from a simple conversion tool into a comprehensive market companion.
The app continues to offer its core functionality, calculating price per ton and comparing costs across small squares, large rounds, and large square bales.
New features pull current and historical hay price data directly from USDA NASS Quick Stats, allowing you to track market trends across the United States. You can now save your calculations and market comparisons, making it easier to track costs over time or manage multiple inventory lots.
By combining local bale weights with national USDA data, hay vendors can ensure they price hay competitively, and buyers can verify they are getting a fair deal.
The Hay Price Calculator app is available for $1.99. It is compatible with both Android and Apple devices and can be downloaded from the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store.
Healthy Horse app
Determining a horse's body weight is important for managing weight and feeding, and for administering medication.
The Healthy Horse App allows horse owners and professionals to estimate the body weight of several breed types by using equations developed through research by the University of Minnesota and the University of Kentucky. Ideal body weight is also calculated.
Simply enter your horse's height, body length, neck and girth circumference.
The app gives an estimate of the actual and ideal body weights and should not replace an examination by a qualified professional.
The app includes the following breed types:
- Adult Arabians
- Draft horses
- Adult and juvenile miniature horses
- Stock horses
- Saddle-type horses
- Ponies
- Warmbloods
- Thoroughbreds
The Healthy Horse App is available in both Spanish and English and users can enter measurements in imperial or metric units with results displayed in pounds or kilograms.
The app is available for use with Android and Apple products for $1.99.
Note: The app may not work on some newer (2023+) Android phones. There is no plan at this time to update the app.
