Hay brand questions

Basil14 · Jan 17, 2022

I came across this hay, and I have never heard of it. I was wondering if it is a good hay brand or not. It is really cheap and so that made me wonder about the Quality and if it is 100% timothy hay.
If any of you guys have bought this hay, It would be great to hear what you thought.

That’s great hay! I’ve bought it for years! Since it’s already bagged there is a chance of getting a bad bale. I’ve gotten a bad bale 2-3 times, so now when I buy a bale, I take it to my car, open it up and check the hay to make sure it’s not dusty or moldy. It will have a weird musty smell to it if it’s bad. If the bale is bad I will take it back into the store and exchange it for a new bale. Normally it’s completely ok, but I prefer checking the hay before I leave the parking lot. One time I took a bale home without checking it and the store wouldn’t let me return it even though the hay was bad

Also, have you tried this hay (its the same brand, just a little different)

I haven’t gotten it from that store, but it looks like the same brand so it should be ok. I would just double check the hay before taking it home just to be safe!
