I live in farm country and want to buy hay in bulk. I need to know how to find the best quality timothy hay. First Cut, Second Cut? What questions do I need to ask? I looked at a few links and am more confused than before. HELP!

It can, yes, but as long as you store it properly it should last until it's gone. I just got an order of 35 lbs from (broken link removed) and it's going to last just fine. Put the hay in cardboard boxes and keep it in a place where it will not get wet, and where ther is good ventilation.loves2travel said:if buying hay in bulk, will it ever get "old" and unusable? How long will hay stay fresh, fresh enough for digestion?
all right, will do. By the way, how do you like kleenmama's hay? do you reccomend it?mncavylover said:Glad you found a new use and it was so cheap. (That may be why).

loves2travel said:mncavylover? what do you think of km's hay?
For 9lbs of hay it would be $15 that is including shipping which is pretty cheap!! For 25lbs it would be $22 still a really good buy. Any one know what Oxbow charges???cinn&sprinslave said:mncavylover I want to know too, because I was thinking of ordering some some because shipping was hardly anything compared to what some online stores charge.
mncavylover said:Yep, they're better than Oxbow. =)
Ok, well, since you're all excited to hear what I've got to say, here goes (I'll just make a list):
1. It's really cheap.
2. KM is the most awesome person to work with.
3. The hay is softer and waaay less dusty than any hay I've tries, including Oxbow.
4. You're not supporting a pet store--yay!
5. It comes in large quantities, so you don't have to order very often. (Also saves gas!)
So yes, I'd recommend her hay. It came in one big box (I got 35 lbs), but when I took it out of the bags (I got 1/2 bluegrass and 1/2 timmy), only the timmy fit into the box! I filled all my other cardboard boxes iwth the bluegrass and there's still more! I think I'll get a pic up so everyone can see how big I'm talking. I'll do that soon.
