Usually, I've always managed to avoid feeding newly cut hay right away but cant avoid it this year.
Is new hay always higher in sugar than old hay? Or will I need to test each bale to check the sugar levels?
I'm currently mixing what I have left of the old hay in with the new hay but will run out of old hay soon.
Pony isn't currently eating the new hay soaked, and I'm wondering what I can do to encourage him to eat it.
He'll eat it dry so considering giving him dry for a couple of days or whether to keep going with the soaking and hope he'll eat it. The other option is to buy some low sugar wrapped bales from our feed store and keep mixing them for a while.
