Search for alternatives if hay stocks dwindle

A dry spring has resulted in a shortage of hay and when you factor in a shortage of carry-over stock because of a wet summer last year, hay prices are reportedly now between 20% and 40% higher than last year.

If you’re struggling to secure a good stock of hay or are worried about its quality, then perhaps it’s time to shift the focus onto The Smallholder Range. Good grass and forage should form the main part of the diet for cattle, sheep and goats but you can ensure your animals receive a balanced diet with all the nutrients required for health and wellbeing by supplementing with a suitable pellet or mix feed.
