What types of hay do you sell?

What is the difference between 1st and 2nd cutting besides price?
The second cut grasses do not generally produce much stalk or seed and consequently are a softer and more grassy hay. The protein and mineral values are higher since most of the "good" on hay is in the leaf. Many of my horse customers are finding that switching to second crop produces superior coats, better hooves and more weight gain with less per feeding with the end result of costing less.. Second crop hay is also the choice of alpaca,sheep and goat owners since these animals typically eat the leaf portion only and leave the stalk to waste.

.Yes but for pickup only

Why do the prices of hay go up as the season progresses?
From June to August the hay is coming out of the fields, and directly onto the truck for delivery. After that time the hay has been put in a barn and has to be handled again to load and deliver. The same follows for 2nd crop. In addition as winter comes fuel cost are higher and the challenge of snow and ice make it more difficult to deliver.
