(Some large round bales can be made a lot lighter and smaller: see the other answers made here.) The large square bales average out at around 1000 to 1200 pounds for straw and I believe around 1400 for hay. Dimensions I've pegged at about 48 tall by 70 long by 48 wide.
I have bought 90 pound hay bales to 150 pound hay bales. Each one can be from the same company, but different cutting at different crop year. It also can be from different cuttings since some companies are unlegit by not carefully baling the hay. Sticks, dirt and even big rocks I have discovered when opening up a bale. To measure the bale I just fed tonight, I would say approx 2 feet by 4 feet long by 2 feet deep. These are pretty good size large bales of approx 125-130 pounds. Adv weight of a bale is 110-115 pounds. 16 bales per ton. Which would make each bale at 120 pounds to meet that ton when calculated. So, pretty much it is an estimate ordeal. I recommend going out and taking a few measurements and documenting each one.
