Our story
Three generations, one crop, no shortcuts
We grow, cut, cure and bale everything we sell. Nothing is bought in from a broker, which is why we can tell you exactly which field a bale came out of.
Heartland Hay Supply started as a family operation putting up small squares for neighbouring horse yards. The ground has not changed and neither has the approach — cut at the right stage, dry it properly, store it dry.
What has changed is how far the hay travels. We run flatbeds and palletised LTL across the lower 48, which means our bales have to survive weeks in transit and a winter in someone else’s barn. That is a higher bar than selling out of the back of a truck, and it is the reason we are strict about moisture.
Every lot is probe-sampled before it is listed. Crude protein, moisture, cut and harvest year go on the product page. If the numbers are not good enough to publish, the lot does not get sold as premium.
We are a small team and we read every message ourselves. If you are not sure what to feed, email us with the animal, the workload and what you are feeding now, and we will tell you honestly whether we have the right hay for 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.
