anyone know where i can get some good quality meadow hay from??

Hi i was just wondering if anyone knew as to where i could get some meadow hay from, i bought some on my way through Mclaren Vale and it wasn't the greatest.....i'll need it on a regular basis when he's up here...

Cheers Stacey

I know of some at Wistow...My v fussy Tb LOVES IT!!

I get some really nice stuff from sanders at gawler. Heaps me clover in it my fussy tb doesnt leave a scrap.

People are cutting now, so there will be heaps advertised soon in papers. Probably need to inspect before buying as peoples version of Meadow hay varies quite a lot.

could you guys pm me their numbers if you have them please,

Thanks for the tip oats and barley, i really wouldn'thave a clue whenit comes to hay, i've been told that if there's salvation jane around there paddocks not to touch it...can give you give me some advise on what makes a good bale?
Thanks Stacey

Isn't it illegal to sell hay with Jane in it? If it isn't, it should be, and it is definitely irresponsible/amoral.

I tend to judge hay by how it smells. Also needs to be well packed - not loose and falling apart.

Find someone that knows a bit about hay and get them to show you. If I say it should have clover, the more the better, you will proably ask what is clover. too hard to explain, easier to get someone to show you.

haha...thanks oats and barley, i know what clover is so that's not that bad, you say the more the better??? i've had a look at my instructors hay and her's is especially grown for horses and it looks really nice, very well compacted together and it's a nice colour,
thanks for the help

i've found some great meadow hay, went a picked it up tonight and gave him some and he couldn't eat it quick enough....thanks rosie i went to Jenny and got some out of her paddock.

MTGG are they the small compact bales that you get. .... If so that hay is grown by Schusters at Freeling. Bl**dy brilliant hay. I buy all mine from there, for one its cheaper to go through them and they have a good variety of hays. If anyone is interested let me know and I'll PM the number.

Cheers

No probs. Glad your horsies like it!

Yay Stacey....less for us to pick up!!We are helping Jenny with the hay carting!
