    Do you feed your babies hay or haylage? Haylage has sent mine loopy!

    I fed mine hay in the summer when they don't need so much cause of the grass and a mix of hay and hayledge in the winter. Last night my yearling had 1 fold of hay and about a armful of hayledge. Ive done this with 3 yearlings and it seems to work for them and me .
