----- PRODUCT INFORMATION -----

OAT HAY

We at VALUE FEEDS thought that we would share with you more in-depth information about our products with today's focus on OAT HAY.

Our Oat Hay that we source comes from the Swartland Region in the Western Cape (see attached map), which includes farms in and around Darling, Malmesbury, Morreesburg, Koringberg and the Riebeek Valley.

The farmers here till and plant the oat seeds in Autumn and wait for the winter rains. Harvest takes place in Spring/Early Summer, depending on the climate - so usually fresh green oat hay can be expected around the latter part of September/October. Rain during harvest period could however delay or affect the quality of the oat hay.

For further information about the Oat Hay plant, please refer to our earlier post.

Here at VALUE FEEDS we sell three Oat Hay Products (straits - no mix) namely:

* OAT HAY. This is Oat Hay that is taken straight from the bale and bagged.
* OAT HAY MINI. This is when we take the Oat Hay from the bale, and compacted it to a manageable, 200g loaf tied with chew-friendly sisal which makes it easier to tie to the cage or run.
*OAT HAY CHAFF. This is oat hay that is shredded and bagged. The short strands makes it easier to fill feed bowls and can be mixed with other feeds.

PLEASE NOTE: As Oat Hay is a natural product, the colour and quality of the Oat Hay is not consistent throughout the year because:
*it is harvested only once a year and it dries out over a couple of months in storage;
* it is sourced from different farms where the thickness may vary;
* the colour may vary due to sun bleaching as the hay is left to dry on the fields before bailing.

We always aim to source the best and freshest available hay from our suppliers to you.
