Description
Bridge a thin hay season with Triple Crown Premium Alfalfa Forage Blend, a chopped blend of sun-cured alfalfa, timothy and orchard grass for all classes of horses. When the hay you can get your hands on is stemmy, dusty or just inconsistent from load to load, this bag gives you a known quantity to feed against: 15% protein, 30% fiber and 960 kcal per pound, the same in December as it was in June.
Key Features
- Alfalfa and grass hay together: Alfalfa brings the protein and calories, timothy and orchard grass keep it from being too rich to feed in volume.
- Consistent quality: Every bag runs to the same analysis, so you can adjust the ration once instead of re-guessing with each new hay delivery.
- Easy to mix with grain: The chopped format folds straight into a bucket ration without a separate feeding.
- Slows down bolters: Mixing it into concentrate gives fast eaters something to sort through, stretching the meal out.
- Pre-bloom and highly digestible: Cut early, so more of what your horse chews actually gets used.
- Soaks readily: Add water to boost intake for a horse that is not drinking enough or needs a softer meal.
Feeding Directions
- To supplement hay or pasture: 4-6 lb per day for an 1,100 lb horse.
- As a complete hay replacement: 15-20 lb per day for an 1,100 lb horse.
Mix with water to help with hydration, or stir it into the grain portion of the diet to slow the rate of intake. Make any forage change gradually over a week or so rather than all at once. Keep salt and plenty of fresh, clean water available at all times. Store the bag somewhere cool and dry, examine it daily, and do not use product that is old, moldy or contaminated with insects.
