Greg Says, “HAY”!
The Dairy and Export market for alfalfa continues to be weak,
so- EVR will keep it’s alfalfa on SALE. Grass hays and grass/
alfalfa blends are in short supply/high demand which keeps
prices strong-But we have our barns full up north. No worries.
Remember, the best way to keep your animal warm is provide
low protein high fiber hay free choice all night long. Also, make
sure to provide salt to promote water intake as animals tend to
drink less in winter.
