Current Hay and straw meadow hay -anyone using it?

[Gadzy]

Hello,

I have been using hay and straw for ings and meadow hay which has been good. The current batch smells very musty and off to me. It’s quite brown as well.

I was wondering if anyone else who uses them has had the same recently? The colour has always been on the browner side (meadow hay) only used them a couple of times recently. The ings is lovely and green and fresh smelling though

Thanks

Hello
I haven’t used any of the meadow hay but a sample I bought of meadow hay from The Little Hay Company is brown strands and my piggies done bother with it.
I’d not use any hay that smells musty ….go back to Hay and Straw company and hopefully they’ll replace it.

I use the Cotswold sweet and silky soft hay from The Little Hay Company and they’re very reliable , soft sweet smelling green hay.
My piggies love both types

I always have to remind myself that this time of year is tricky for buying hay, as the various companies just have the end of last years hay harvest & hopefully starting to do the first hay harvests of the year soon.
We are running low, and I only made a small order recently (natures own )hopefully to tide us over until new hay is available.

My latest batch of meadow hay from Hay and Strawberry is browner than usual but doesn’t smell musty.
It’s that time of year as @AidaB says
