| People are cutting now, so there will be heaps advertised soon in papers. Probably need to inspect before buying as peoples version of Meadow hay varies quite a lot. |

Isn't it illegal to sell hay with Jane in it? If it isn't, it should be, and it is definitely irresponsible/amoral.
I tend to judge hay by how it smells. Also needs to be well packed - not loose and falling apart. |

| Find someone that knows a bit about hay and get them to show you. If I say it should have clover, the more the better, you will proably ask what is clover. too hard to explain, easier to get someone to show you. |

| MTGG are they the small compact bales that you get. .... If so that hay is grown by Schusters at Freeling. Bl**dy brilliant hay. I buy all mine from there, for one its cheaper to go through them and they have a good variety of hays. If anyone is interested let me know and I'll PM the number.
