Alfalfa Hay Grading


PREMIUM HORSE HAY
- THIS IS OUR BEST. It's summer hay from the 3rd through 7th cuttings. It's leafy and small to medium stemmed, with a high leaf-to-stem ratio. Most of the bales are high in color.

HORSE HAY NO. 2 - This is the same as Premium Horse Hay, but is baled under dryer baling conditions. Generally, this hay is discounted from the Premium grade because it is shattery.

PINTO HORSE HAY - This hay has windrow bleach. This bleaching occurs as the hay is in the windrow prior to baling, and is bleached by the sun. The hay on the bottom side of the windrow is unbleached. After the hay is baled, it has streaks or stripes of bright green and light green. We call it pinto because it has color variations like a pinto horse. The only thing wrong with this hay is it's color fault. Nutritionally, it is good hay.

COW HAY - We do not recommend or guarantee this hay for horses. It has usually been rained on while in the windrow and could likely mold. This is a good, cheap feed for cattle.
