Premium Organic Alfalfa Grab & Go Compressed Bales are formed by allowing Standlee Premium Western Forage to grow to the proper stage of maturity, cutting the plants, allowing them to sun-cure (dry) to an acceptable moisture level and baling the forage at the optimal time. This product is USDA certified organic and GMO-free, with no artificial colors, flavors or chemicals added. Sustainable and ecologically grown ingredients provide a premium organic feed alternative for animals. Standlee creates Grab & Go compressed bales of forage from a large 4'x4'x8' bale that is put through a press, sliced horizontally, pushed onto a scale, weighed, compressed, banded and then shrink-wrapped. Alfalfa forage is low in sugar, moderately high in protein, high in calories and digestible fiber. Always store forages in a cool, dry and well-ventilated area. As long as the product is properly stored, forages can last for well over a year or more. Available in approximately 50 lbs. bales.

On average, most horses comfortably consume 2% of their body weight in dry forage per day. This equates to 20 lbs of dry forage per day for a 1000 lb horse. Standlee recommends that you weigh the amount of forage provided to each horse to ensure you are feeding the proper amount. This is especially important with baled and compressed forage since similar volumes of forage (a flake for example) vary in weight. Standlee also recommends cutting the bands on compressed bales and allowing the bale to expand overnight to avoid overfeeding. Feed Standlee Premium Western Baled or Standlee Premium Western Compressed Forage at a minimum rate of 1.5% of body weight. Gradually increase or decrease the amount of forage to maintain desired body condition. Never feed moldy or insect infested forage to horses. Always provide free-access to fresh, clean water.
Gradually replace existing hay with Standlee forage over a 7-10 day period. Replace existing hay on a 1 to 1 basis with Standlee forage.

Q: What Cutting is this?
9 days ago- A: Howdy neighbor! While this specific Standlee bale does not list a cutting number on the package, the forage is harvested at peak maturity to guarantee a consistent, Premium-grade nutritional profile in every block. Physically, it mirrors a high-quality second cutting, delivering a vibrant green color, rich leafiness, and a sweet aroma that your animals will love. Because it is double-compressed, simply cut the bands a few hours before feeding to let the fresh flakes expand naturally!9 days agoHelpful?
Q: I appreciate that you've included the following: "Standlee Premium Western Forage uses herbicides[...]" If I'd like to use your organic product as a mulch, will the herbicide inhibit organic fruit and/or vegetable growth, or cause any other issues?

a year ago- A: Thank you for reaching out to us; your communication is greatly appreciated. Standlee Premium Western Forage uses herbicides and pesticides on an occasional basis, not annually, as insect infestations typically occur every other year or every two to three years. It's important to emphasize that neither Roundup nor Grazon is part of our practices. For our Alfalfa crop, we employ either Sencor (metribuzin), Select (Clethodim), or Raptor (ammonium salt) herbicides, but never more than one of these in a given year. The choice of herbicide depends on the specific weed targeted and the crop's growth stage. In terms of insecticide, we use Mustang Max (S-Cyano) and Lorsban (chlorpyrifos) once or twice annually.a year agoHelpful?
