Sox has been on hay for much of his life. However he loves haylage and I have only thought about this because my vet mentioned that haylage is better at putting weight on then hay in the winter.
But there is only sox and I know... well see from previous yard that haylage goes on quickly. At the moment. Well atleast in the winter I fill my nets on a weekend or my day off for the following week. The bales are under cover to a degree but the bales can still get wet if I don't cover them and it rains badly. I am talking about hay bales at the moment. So I am wondering if you would stick to hay or move to haylage? The only thing that worries me about the haylage is pay... 35 quid for a big bale and it going off after a week or so.
