We use one type of hay in the stalky now,a rye and timothy seed hay,we were trying to mix three differnt ones together but it did'nt always mix evenly so not always satisfactory, This one was grown by my neighbour at the other end of the village and is 2nd year seed hay,nice and green.

At the moment we are using and mixing in some very stalky hay that can easily be mistaken for straw both in our large bales and stalky smaller bales, it is not straw but in fact first year Rye grass, this has exellent feed value, far more than softer finer hay, the reason it is yellow in colour is because the stems are so thick and it needs more sun to dry it out and make, the downside is that it bleaches the green out.

We have discontinued the Large Two String Bale that we have been doing for a few years and will be replacing with a slightly smaller bale.

Main reason being that the farm baler we have been using tended to smash the hay up especially if it was very dry.

The new bale is compressed into a woven polyprop sack and as a guide only will weigh a little under 10kg, cost £19.98 inclusive of delivery.

This should be ready early next week.
