Re: [RC] [RC] Which hay is better? - Truman Prevatt

Depends on where the Timothy is raised. Timothy grass does not do well in the warmer climates. Indiana is about as far south that it does well and even in Southern Indiana it doesn't do all that well. Horses just don't seem to like the Timothy grown in warmer climates. In warm climates Orchard grass is probably a better choice except where Orchard grass doesn't grow well then a Bermuda hybrid like Tiff 44 seems to be the best bet for horse hay.

None that I'm aware of. There's a problem with feeding fescue that has an endophyte to pregnant mares. I thought Timothy has always had a reputation as being one of the ideal horse hays.
