How To Choose The Best Hay Bales CT

By Sandra Lee


Feeding your livestock with quality grass is very essential when it comes to their growth and development. However so many farmers do not know exactly what to go for. The bales come in different shapes, quantities and sizes. Due to seasonal changes the bales can change and as a farmer one should be aware of the best Hay Bales CT to purchase.

These two types of hays usually differ in shape and also price. The square bale is costly compared to the rounded one which is also commonly used by farmers who make their own hay. In terms of feeding livestock, the rounded hays are mostly preferred by farmers when a large number of livestock is being fed. On the other hand farmers who keep small number of livestock prefer buying the square shaped one due to the fact that it can be easily broken and after removing the required quantity the bale still remains neat.

The texture is also a very important factor to look at. A bale which is good textured allows one to break it easily and also allows easy consumption. Purchasing rough hay will strain the jaws and also require one to use a lot of energy which is not healthy to the livestock and also the owner.

Hay has different weight, size and shape. As a dealer, one should have all the varieties which are available. This is because every customer has different tastes and preferences from each other. Having different varieties will attract more clients and also help grow the business.

The condition of the bale should be looked at very keenly before purchasing. This is because bales can be spoilt when they come in to contact with water or moisture. This leads to mold growth and with time it makes the hay ineffective since the nutritional value degrades during this time. When one identifies the best hay for their needs, one should also enquire from the dealer the amount of hay they are supposed to feed their livestock. This will ensure constant supply of nutrients at all-time thus promoting health farming.

When it comes to weight, the rounded bales are not heavy compared to the square shaped ones. They will see one use less fuel to transport them compared to the counterparts. In terms of loading and offloading, it is easy to load and offload the rounded hay due to its weight.

As much as quality and price goes hand in hand, quantity also matters. Before opting to buy your grass, it is good to first confirm the weight. Some quantities are not worth the price they are sold at. It will be very costly for a farmer who feeds large number of livestock to buy small quantities of bales at a high price.

As much as hay is a good source for livestock nutrients which are necessary for growth, farmers should be very vigilant when buying these products. A wrong choice can lead to malnutrition and with time it will affect the health of the livestock. On the other hand manufacturers should also give quality bales to farmers in order to ensure proper supply of energy and nutrients. Their products should also meet consumers standards.
