Orchard Grass Hay is a highly palatable and nutritious grass hay that is well-suited for a wide range of farm animals, including horses, cows, sheep, goats, and llamas. Known for its soft texture and sweet aroma, Orchard Grass provides moderate fiber content and low protein, making it an excellent choice for maintaining digestive health and overall well-being. Its fine stems and green color indicate high quality, ensuring that animals receive essential nutrients without excessive calories.
For horses, Orchard Grass Hay may be particularly beneficial for those with metabolic issues such as insulin resistance or Cushings (if the sugar test is low), as well as adult horses in light to moderate work or those maintaining their current weight. Cows also benefit from the balanced fiber content, supporting healthy digestion and consistent milk production. Sheep, goats and lamas thrive on Orchard Grass due to its palatability and nutritional balance.
When selecting Orchard Grass Hay, look for a sweet, pleasant smell and a vibrant green color to ensure maximum nutritional value and freshness. This versatile hay is an essential component of a well-rounded diet for various livestock, providing a reliable source of fiber and nutrients.
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.
