HAY is what horses eat...
Hay field
I live in Illinois and I use a local guy, but he isn't taking on any new clinets currently. Alot of feed stores carry hay. I like a mix of grass and alphla hay, zebra alphla is basically the same. Good hay is usually fairly green. Bad hay tends to be more dried out and more brown. When it starts to be white that is mold, and needs to be thown away. Hope that helps some.
There's a local farm that my barn buys hay from, and the farmers deliver. Good hay will be a nice yellowy-green color, will smell good and won't smell like mold. There shouldn't be any visible mold anywhere on it. The farmer should be able to tell you what kind of hay it is and what other plants are mixed in with it. Good hay with be mostly just that - hay, not weeds, stalks, or straw. Some clover or other grasses mixed in is fine but branches or burrs are not.
No particular company. Hay is usually grown locally. We have it delivered in big 4x5 rolls, but it also comes in small 55 lb or so bales. If it is good, it should be greenish in color and smell really sweet, like fresh mown grass smells almost. Different varieties of grass yield different qualities of hay, just depends on your area.
I buy my hay off a company called TSC. But sometimes if you look in the paper in the Classifieds in misc. or Classifieds in horses/or farm supplies.
