Are you planning to stock up on hay for your horses and/or cows for the fall and winter? Before purchasing hay for your livestock it’s important to decide what hay you want. For instance, do you want first cut hay or second cut hay? Is there that much of a difference? Well, for starters, first cut hay is hay that has been cut, dried, and baled for the first time that year. First cut right from the field is extremely rich and should not be given out right away or at least mixed with older hay. First cut that is been stored for a while is perfectly fine to feed straight out. Second and third cut hay are much more fresh than first cut and they are also more rich in vitamins and minerals. It can often be too rich for a horse’s stomach. Consult with your Chattanooga, TN vet to learn more.
