I decided to start a new thread because my other one was more of not being able to find hay. This one is about finding it and wanting to show quality between the two.
This is the hay I bought from the Elverta store. It is the stuff that my guy's clean up every scrap.

This new stuff I found at Douglas Ranch Supply. It is 20/80% alfalfa/grass hay.
Close up.
The Douglas stuff still breaks up easy but isn't as easy as the Elverta stuff. The Douglas stuff seems to be a bit more stemmy, but not overly bad. Nothing like the River Valleys stuff. The only thing the Douglas stuff has is those weird looking seed pods or what ever they are. I have never seen that in the other hays I have had.
I bought 6 bales of the Douglas stuff today. What I plan on doing is feeding that till the Elverta store gets more of their hay in. Then I am going to buy their stuff and make sure I have enough of theirs to get me through to the hay season. I will find out when they have ample hay, and when they start to run out and go from there. For now though I have decent hay to get me buy and don't have to worry about hay for at least 3 months!
