anyone know of anyone who has small baled hay atm?

I've been phoning round and all i can get is haylage, which I 100% don't want. Luckily a friend is dropping off a couple of bales later but I think we're going to have major problems later in the year so want to order a load in.

If they could deliver that would be fab too!
 
Hi, whereabouts are you. Have a look on Welland Valley Feeds website, you could try my supplier Grange Farm at Thorpe Langton 01858 545109. Although I know he is running short. If you do struggle, Horsehage high fibre haylage ( the blue one) is fine to give if you've got a fatty or laminitic
 
Everyone has the same problem at the moment, last years hay is running out & this years is still in the field waiting for a break in the weather to cut & bale it.

I have a standing order for 12months supply with my farmer but it matters little if he can't get the crop in. Already quite alot of farmers have lost their crop. I reckon the price will rocket & most of us will be feeding haylege as there will be very little hay about

I've tried grange farm. Don't normally order hay in as we have our own, but there hasnt been a cut yet an grange farm havent any either. Nor has knight's.
 
No idea about where to purchase hay I'm afraid but wanted to add that in the immediate short term you could use Hi Fibre or Timothy Horsehage (as suggested) or Hi Fi Lite or Happy Hoof as hay replacers. All are suitable for laminitics.
 
I have some hay coming tonight, was just wanting to order some more in for the rest of the summer. I have Hapy hoof, but atm he's got suspected lami and I really don't want to give him anything more than old hay.
 
Hay is cut dried grass, haylage is bayled while still wet. Its quite rich for fatties and lami's, however as mentioned above timothy haylage from Horsehage is fine. You can feed more as up to 40% of haylage is water. Once opened though it has to be use up in 3/4 days in summer, slightly longer in winter
