Hay

Overview

Our premium hay is sourced from the finest pastures and is available in alfalfa, timothy, and grass mixes. High in protein (12‑18%) and fibre (28‑34%), our hay supports healthy livestock nutrition for cattle, horses, sheep, and goats. Harvested and baled at peak nutritional value, each bale is inspected for moisture content (<15%) and visually checked for mould and foreign material. We offer a range of bale weights (20‑50 kg) to suit different feeding requirements, and can also supply in bulk for large commercial operations. Whether you are a smallholder or a large feedlot, we have the hay quality and quantity you need.
