Hay Quality

[Tilly92]

I have been buying hay from The Range/Home Bargains/Jolles etc . However i have noticed that the recent bags have been very dusty. I guess this is a result of the very dry UK summer. I have been "fluffing" it up outside but as the wet weather arrives this is not convenient . Any ideas or should i change to Burgess hay ?

You can certainly change hay brand. Try to find a dust extracted brand (even then though you will still be likely to find some dust)

I buy a dust extracted hay
You still get a little in the bottom of the bag but it’s not much

We’ve been having success with Pillow Wad meadow lately! Very little dust in our latest batch.

It's been pretty bad. I've had to switch to Haybox, but it's not cheap.

I use Hay & Straw Company and their hay isn’t dusty.
Fast and free delivery.
Unfortunately the weather will have had a detrimental effect on hay quality wherever we buy from

How have you got on with it? Never had any success for some reason with their stuff. I’ve tried it with all the piggies I’ve had in the past, it all seems pretty coarse, even their meadow hay. They will eat the soft one they do, but it was no good for their tummies

I stopped using Haybox a couple of years ago
Poor quality hay and poor customer service with items missed off orders
