The last batch of hay I purchased, the animals would not eat. very dry, brown, and had no smell. very bland. I asked about a better option. NOw, My horse and goats have never been happier. This is by far the best hay we have gotten. Green. smells good., has lasted, and best of all is eaten with no stomach issues. I would recommend and hope there is more available when we run out! thank you for the suggestion!
