From the barn
Hay is a crop, not a commodity
Two bales of timothy off the same farm can be a world apart depending on when they were cut, how fast they dried and where they spent the winter. We publish the cut, the harvest year, the protein and the moisture for every lot, so you are buying a known quantity rather than a photograph.
Everything ships out of covered storage on pallets, strapped and wrapped. If a load arrives wet or mouldy, we replace it.
Cut at the right stage
Cut pre-bloom, before the stem goes woody and the seed head takes over. Leaf retained, stem fine, colour green all the way to the core of the bale.
Tested, not guessed
Every lot is probe-sampled for protein and moisture before it leaves the barn. The numbers on the listing are the numbers you get.
Freight across 48 states
Small squares go LTL on pallets, large squares and rounds move by flatbed. Delivery windows confirmed within one business day.

Customer reviews
4.8 out of 5, across 50 reviews
“I have bought timothy from four suppliers in six years and this is the first time the second cut has actually looked like second cut. Fine stem, leaf still on it, and green right through the middle of the bale rather than just on the outside.”
Not sure what to buy?
Which hay for which animal
A starting point, not a prescription. Tell us the animal and the workload and we will narrow it down properly.
| Animal | Start with | Target protein | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Horse at maintenance | Timothy, orchard, meadow mix | 8–11% | Free choice or 1.5–2% of bodyweight daily. |
| Horse in hard work | Timothy with alfalfa topper | 11–14% | Add legume rather than grain where you can. |
| Laminitic or insulin-resistant | Teff | 9–11% | Low NSC is what matters here, not protein. |
| Broodmare, in foal | Endophyte-free fescue, alfalfa | 12–18% | Never feed endophyte-infected fescue to in-foal mares. |
| Beef cattle, wintering | Bermuda rounds, meadow mix | 8–11% | Round bales in a ring feeder cut waste sharply. |
| Dairy cattle & goats in milk | Alfalfa | 16–20% | Protein and calcium drive yield. |
| Rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas | Small-animal timothy | 8–10% | Unlimited grass hay. Alfalfa only for growing young. |
| Alpaca & llama | First-cut grass hay | 9–11% | Too much protein shows up in the fleece. |

Questions we get asked most
What's the difference between first, second and third cut?
First cut is coarser and stemmier with more seed head — good value, higher fibre. Second cut is finer and leafier with more protein. Third cut is the softest and richest, and is usually fed as part of a ration rather than free choice.
Timothy, orchard or bermuda — which do I need?
All three are grass hay in the 8–12% protein range, so the choice is mostly about stem and palatability. Timothy is the standard for horses in light to moderate work. Orchard grass is softer and a little higher in protein, which helps with picky eaters. Bermuda is finer-stemmed and the most economical per ton for pasture feeding.
How much does a bale weigh?
Small squares are typically 20–27 kg, large squares 300–350 kg and 4x5 rounds around 450–500 kg. The exact weight for each lot is on its product page.
How should I store it?
Off the ground on pallets, under cover, with air moving around the stack. Hay baled dry will hold its colour and feed value for well over a year stored that way. Stacked on bare concrete in a damp shed it will mould from the bottom up.
