Great in an emergency! It has been constant bale to bale. No I don't like paying $25 a bale every 3 days but when you have no other source of long stem, you do what you have to do. It was this and alfalfa cubes or wheat straw and alfalfa cubes and I'll go hungry and hope that I don't have to go without hay to the point that I am feeding out some wheat straw so I don't starve while trying to provide for my horse. Due to an ice storm which delayed the spring sprout then a heat wave that ruined any chance of anything taking off to growing and getting a spring cutting, there is no hay within a 100 mile radius and I have to have something for a rescue horse I took in a year ago. He came to me 275lbs underweight, not treated fairly and I won't see that happen to him again. It took me 4 months to get him back up to weight and I never once thought about not being able to get him his basic needs, like hay. I have always had goats so my 2 acre pasture was plenty for my 4 goats and have never experienced what a hay crisis means to people that have horses or pasture that cannot support the other livestock they may have. The same weather problems caused problems with our pasture but goats don't eat much grass and it seems that weeds don't need much of anything to grow. We have pretty consistent 100 degree weather and no rain to a rare 1/10 of an inch here and there but that doesn't make grass grow. I searched and searched online and found nothing, asked everyone I knew and they were in the same boat as me, well most were a lot worse off, selling half their herd of cattle just to have a hope of being able to feed the rest until, crossing fingers, some kind of a fall cutting would happen, time will only tell on that.

My goats love this stuff

My goats and sheep love it as a treat or added in their usual hay

It breaks up nicely in small flakes. Easy to feed. Less mess because it's wrapped. Will buy again.
