My MN hay guy regularly got 5 cuttings. The guy I bought hay from last year–new guy, as I needed small bales to take to CT with us–got in six that year. Hay in MN is a crazy, crazy thing.
I think the farmers around here are going to be lucky to get 2 cuttings this summer. No wonder it’s so much more expensive than in the midwest!
Yes i feed alfalfa. Looking at second load it appears to be grass/timothy i’m not seeing a lot of alfalfa. Like alfalfa because it for most part keeps weight on the boys. They won’t keep good weight with just grass/timothy hay. So will see when i open a bale from second load. Second load came from different supplier so who knows, said i want alfalfa rounds 1000 pounders. Doubt there will be a second cutting if there is, it would be iffy on how good it would be.
