    hay

    Just wondering... : does anyone have a preference over first or second cut hay? I talked to my grain rep (the one who suggested the diet change on my minis) and he didn't seem to have any issues with second cut hay. I know that second cut is more protein rich, but if fed properly, is it okay...
