Which hay is best for the money?

You decide!                      We have 4x4  Fescue that is $29 per bale fob the barn.

                               We have 4X5 Orchard Fescue that is $39 per bale fob the farm.

4X5 Orchard Fescue @ $39 We can load 42 of these on a 53 ft trailer and they
are said to weigh about 825lbs or so by our customers.

4X4 Fescue @ $29 We can haul 50 of these on a 53 ft trailer and they are
said to weigh 685 lbs or so by this driver who had 46 on this 48 ft trailer below.

Doing the math based upon the above information:
50 bales x 685lbs = 34,250 lbs and 50 times $29 = $1450 Cost of a load of 4X4 Fescue.
42 bales X 825lbs = 34, 650 lbs  and 42 times $39 = $1638 Cost of a load of 4X5 Orchard Fescue.
Trucking is $2.35 per mile for a 53 trailer. @ 1000 miles = $2350 per load
Then the trucking cost of 50 bales of 4x4 = $47 per bale trucking
And the trucking cost of 42 bales of 4X5 = $55.95 per bale trucking.
Total cost of a 4X4 for a 1000 miles = $29 plus $47 = $76 per bale.
Total cost of a 4X5 for a 1000 miles = $39 plus $55.95 = $94.95 per bale.
By what we have been told from truckers concerning what these bales weigh the 4X4 is the best bale for the money.  We are not saying these bales will average what is shown here but enter this information based upon trusted sources that have hauled our hay and ran the scales and others that are using the hay.
