So I've been having a ton of trouble finding local Timothy hay or orchard grass for my pigs (which is weird because I live in an area with a ton of farms and livestock). I've had to use Oxbow (64 oz and 90 oz bags) for the last few weeks because of a lack of options, but I obviously can't keep using it for much longer at the rate they're going through it. Out of desperation, I tried yet another feed and seed store, where I bought a bale of Kentucky Timothy hay for $14. However, I'm worried that it's not good enough for my boys. I didn't see the hay until they put it in the car, and it wasn't green and looked pretty hard. I tried giving the boys a sample of a few heads from the hay, but they aren't touching it (and Mercury, in particular, is a fiend for timothy heads). I'm worried I made a bad purchase because I don't want to give the boys hay that isn't good for them.
What do you guys think? Is this hay ok, or should I see if I can return it to the store?
