**First Cut Lucerne on Sale!** 🌿
First cut lucerne is on sale this month for $14 a bale plus GST!
First cut lucerne is often considered better than prime lucerne for horses needing fiber for a few reasons:
1. **Higher Fiber Content**: First cut lucerne typically has a higher fiber content compared to later cuts. This is because the plants are more mature when harvested, resulting in more stem and less leaf, which provides more roughage.
2. **Balanced Nutrition**: While prime lucerne (usually second or third cut) is richer in protein and energy, first cut lucerne offers a better balance of nutrients for horses that need more fiber and less protein and energy.
3. **Digestive Health**: The higher fiber content in first cut lucerne helps promote healthy digestion and can prevent issues like colic. It helps maintain a consistent and healthy gut environment.
4. **Weight Management**: For horses that need to manage their weight, the higher fiber and lower calorie content of first cut lucerne can be beneficial. It helps them feel full without adding too many calories to their diet.
5. **Chewing Satisfaction**: The coarser texture of first cut lucerne encourages more chewing, which is beneficial for dental health and also helps stimulate saliva production, aiding in digestion.
Overall, first cut lucerne provides the necessary fiber that horses need for a healthy digestive system and balanced diet, especially if they don’t require the higher protein and energy levels found in prime lucerne.

Feeding out round bales can sometimes lead to loss due to:
- Weather spoilage if they're not stored properly or covered.
- Overeating or selective feeding by horses, which can waste hay.
- Trampling, soiling, and scattering can also contribute to wastage.
It's important to manage and monitor how the bales are used to minimize these losses!
Lucerne is awesome for foals because it's packed with protein for muscle growth and calcium for strong bones. Plus, it's super digestible for their little tummies!
