1185 lbs/bale, 3x4x8 feet bales, $365/bale

1st Cut Timothy Hay is a high-fiber grass hay that is fundamental for many herbivorous animals, especially horses. This cut is recognized for its long stems, visible seed heads, and slightly sweet aroma. It has a coarser texture compared to later cuts, making it particularly beneficial for dental wear in horses. High in fiber, moderate in protein, and low in calcium, 1st Cut Timothy Hay is ideal for maintaining digestive health and promoting proper gut function in horses. When assessing its quality, look for a green color, long stems, and a fresh, sweet smell. While primarily used for horses, it can also be beneficial for cows, particularly as a roughage source in their diet to aid in digestion. Additionally, its coarser texture and high fiber content make it a suitable choice for maintaining healthy weight and preventing obesity in equines.

Buying hay in a 3x4x8 feet large square bale form offers significant benefits, including easier storage and handling due to its compact shape. Large square bales are also more efficient for feeding large numbers of animals, reducing the frequency of bale changes and saving time. Best of all, large squares are usually cheaper than conventional small squares.
