Soaking hay for ROA

[Sukistokes2]

How do you guys do it? What's working for you? I think I've been soaking for too long . I do not want to feed haylage, blows his mind and I can't afford a steamer at the moment

I used to soak for about an hour... so just thoroughly wetted really, but he was fine on it.

Have you tried meadow or timothy haylage if the ryegrass is too much?

We use the biggest size of rubber tub trug now beside the tap, fill it with water and put net in for half an hour..

Water emptied every few days

Used to steam by putting the haynet in a dustbin, dumping a kettle of boiling water over it and then putting a sheet of plastic over, fastened tightly down with a bungee thingy. Leave for 10mins. Smells gorgeous and it seems to work. Easy peasy and no disgusting water to get rid of!
