Inquiry Form for more info
Stock up for winter! All hay sales are welcome, whether
small or large! Our hay is custom baled with the horse owner in
mind. The baler is set at 15 strokes per bale which results in
a customized horse ration bale consisting of 15 flakes per bale,
approximately 7.5 lbs. per flake for a total bale weight of around
115 lbs.
According to horse feed tables, most horses require
15 lbs. of hay per day.* Feeding two flakes per horse per day
is easy and convenient, with no messy, splitting of flakes to
make the daily ration. Of course, individual feeding requirements
do vary. You may want to check with your veterinarian regarding
specific nutritional needs for your horse.
We put up 500 tons of hay per year. Both the Timothy
and Orchard Grass Hay are excellent for horse feed. All bales
are three-string which weigh around 115 lbs. per bale. There are
about 18 bales per ton. All hay is protected from weather, stored
under cover in metal hay barns. If you are unable to self-load
and haul, on request, we may be able to provide names of reputable
local hay haulers to help you arrange delivery.
