I just purchase 2 bales of coastal bermuda a month ago and it was real green; I didn't think Cowboy or Liberty would like it; they didn't but they did eat it. Well went to get more on Saturday and it was awful looking terribly dry and brown. Bought 2 and got home, broke one open and so many thick stems and I knew when I lifted it out of my car to put in it's place that it was not good; too light weight.
I also feed Strategy. they are out grazing on my yard grass about 1 hour in the morning and same in the evening; more on weekends. but I don't think it's enough without the hay. I have a coming 2 yr old filly and a near 13 yr old gelding; pretty easy keepers. My filly puts on weight very easily; opposite to my gelding.
Is there an alternative for hay that would allow the grazing exercise; I know I can't go to straight alfalfa. I've seen ya'll talk about complete feeds or hay pellets/cubes; what are these cubes? Do you soak them first?
My feed store tells me it's going to get worse before it gets better.
Anyone here near me, I'm in Spring, TX (a suburb north of Houston) that has a good hay contact?
I don't buy in bulk (no storage ability); so I only usually buy 2 bales at a time; but could buy a few more if I found some good quality.
Thanks!!
