💬 TEXT MESSAGE: “Good morning! I would like to place another order for a pallet of pressed timothy again and was wondering if you could please get me on the schedule? You were right the pressed hay is so much better!!”
I put so much effort into trying to match people and their animals up with the right hay for their individual needs. So does my whole family and our entire team - it’s probably the most important task we take on, on a daily basis. And it probably comes at no surprise that it can be pretty challenging, time-consuming, and sometimes even labor-intensive to get it right.

But to me there is probably no greater feeling than getting feedback like this when I have went out on a limb to suggest something new for someone because I think it might work well for them and their animals. For me - and our team - this is why we do what we do. This is what makes all the hard work worth it. This is why we choose to go the extra mile.
FOR THOSE INTERESTED IN OUR PRESS PACKS - here are just a few reasons why some horse-owners have given them a try and have ended up choosing them time and time again ⤵️

—> made by slicing/rebinding big bales = more cost-effective production process = $$ saved

—> can be loaded and unloaded by the pack with equipment = time saved = $$ saved

—> can also be unloaded and handled by the individual bale = smaller than traditional bales = easier to move

—> partially wrapped = some automatic protection from the elements = less effort needed to fully cover

Available for PICK-UP with complimentary loading seven days a week, with delivery available for an additional fee. Also available by the semi load at a discounted direct ton rate. SEND US A MESSAGE for more information and to find out if press packs might be a good option for your feeding program!

*other hay varieties also available in press pack

Wondering how to read a hay test? 🧐 We’ve got you covered! ⤵️

As Sampled vs. Dry Matter:
As Sampled: Reports nutrients in the natural state (w/ moisture)
Dry Matter: Reports nutrients with moisture removed 

Moisture: Moisture is the water content of the hay. Ideally around 10-15%; less than 10% may be on the drier side & contain less nutrients; higher then 17% risks molding. 

Protein (Crude Protein): (For adult horses) ideally between 10-12%; for horses that are high-intensity, younger, or broodmares a higher CP is needed. 
CP can range from 8 to 14% in grass hays - 14 to 17% in mixed hays - 15 to >20% in legume hay such as alfalfa.

Acid Detergent Fiber (ADF): ADF shows the cellulose and ligin; aka measures how digestible the hay is. Most ADF values should be between 30-45%. Lower the ADF is, the more digestible the nutrients of the hay are. 

Neutral Detergent Fiber (NDF):  NDF shows cellulose, hemicellulose, and ligin. The higher the NDF levels more then likely the less the horse will eat. Between 40-65% is generally the ideal ranges. 

Non Structural Carbs (NSC)(WSC + Starch): NSC is the result of the analysis between the starches and sugars. To find out the NSC of the hay, it is 
WSC + Starch = NSC
Typically, in order for a hay to be considered low NSC, it must have less then 12%. 

Nitrates: Nitrates are a normal plant protein that is absorbed from the soil. High levels of nitrates can pose certain risks toward animals. Typically, it is ideal for hay to be under 1,000ppm. 

DE: Digestible Energy is a calculation that take all aspects of nutrients into consideration and is used to balance the energy portion of a diet. Most hay will range 0.76Mcal- 1.1Mcal. However, horses is different working classes will require different measurements of DE. 
🚨Remember every hay is different based off where it’s grown or how/when it’s harvested, etc.…which is why it is important to test and check!

We have tests available upon request for most of our hay offerings. Stop by and let us help you feed your furry friends right!

Shoutout to our press-packs for making quality affordable + simple to feed and transport! Just pulled this flake out to feed and can certainly see why so many people have tried this stuff once and have never gone back to what they were feeding before.

Here are a few reasons why some horse-owners have chosen to give it a try and have ended up sticking with this packaging option time and time again ⤵️

—> made by slicing/rebinding big bales = more cost-effective production process = $$ saved

—> can be loaded and unloaded by the pack with equipment = time saved = $$ saved

—> can also be unloaded and handled by the individual bale = smaller than traditional bales = easier to move

—> partially wrapped = some automatic protection from the elements = less effort needed to fully cover

Available for PICK-UP with complimentary loading seven days a week, with delivery available for an additional fee. Also available by the semi load at a discounted direct ton rate. SEND US A MESSAGE for more information and to find out if press packs might be a good option for your feeding program!

ON OUR DELIVERY TRUCK TODAY 🚛 three-tie 2nd cutting HAY 🤩🤩

2024/25 has been a tighter year for timothy - especially good quality second cutting - but we have worked hard to have a good consistent supply available at our store for pick-up and delivery, as well as by the semi load.

While we do always have second cutting timothy in stock year round, it might not be a bad idea if you are wanting good quality stuff to get your barn stocked up now with enough to last until late summer when 2025 second cutting will be harvested.

01/14/2025

LET’S TALK about some of the different packaging options ⤵️

🌟PELLETS

🌟CUBES (pictured - top)

🌟PRESSED BALES (pictured - bottom)
*several bales in a “pack”

🌟SMALL BALES (two-tie & three-tie)
*can sometimes be “bundled” together

🌟BIG BALES (3x3x8’ + 3x4x8’ + 4x4x8’)

🌟ROUND BALES (various sizes)

🌟SLEEVES (wrapped chaff)

All of these different packaging options - as well as others that are not listed - serve a bit of a different purpose, and one may be a bit of a better fit for each individual operation than another.

For example - on the Enumclaw plateau and in surrounding areas, the majority of equestrian-focused farms and stables do not have adequate access and/or storage (or they may also not have the right equipment) to accommodate the larger packaging options such as big bales, rounds, sleeves (or whole press packs).

Alternatively, it would not be very practical or affordable for a large-scale commercial dairy farm to waste time feeding out small bales to a large herd.

The key is to try to find the quality of hay you are looking for, within a price range that works for your budget, that is also packaged in a manner that makes the most logistical sense for your operation.

WE WOULD LOVE TO KNOW - what type of packaging has worked best for you?
