Hay

Premium Quality Fescue Hay
For Cows and "Horses"
(Don't feed fecue hay to pregnant Horses in last months)
   Particle density increased with the correct moisture content and should not lose over 5% of the original dry matter & digestible nutrients the first year of storage or in succeeding years. All hay was carefully monitored to insure less than 18% moisture levels when baling
Note:  Hay "can be dried down in the field" to an extremely low & dry moisture level for baling, even down to 9% to 10% moisture, BUT WHY?.
When this procedure is done (for low moisture), the leaf loss and the nutrition loss is so great that the bale becomes undesirable as feed, particularly for horses and dairy cattle." So, why spend money on washed out, dry bad hay ?
   Our Hay sweat tempertures were recorded between 94-101 degrees over a 12 hour period, then heat was gone (no heat detected in bales). Hay was ready to be fed the next day, "not 2 to 4 weeks later using the standard waiting time because of high moister and dangerous heat build up,"   
Our Hay is Soft, Bright, Plyable, we also used a conditioning mower. 60- 65 pounds small bale weight. Our round bales 4 x 4's (sold out) are 600 pounds plus. " 2 can fit in a 8' truck bed."
