1. What’s the difference between Lucerne hay and Oaten hay?
Lucerne hay (also known as alfalfa) is high in protein, calcium, and energy—ideal for horses, dairy cows, and young livestock. Oaten hay, made from oat plants, has more fibre and is typically softer and sweeter—great for cattle and horses.
Depending on seasonal conditions and irrigation, we typically get 3 to 4 cuts per year:
  • 1st Cut – Coarser, high bulk, great for cattle
  • 2nd Cut – Balanced, leafy, good all-round feed
  • 3rd Cut – Softer, higher in protein, ideal for horses
  • 4th Cut – Finest and leafiest, premium quality
Lucerne is usually cut at 10%–20% bloom for the best balance of nutrition and volume. Timing is crucial to retain leaf quality and avoid losing nutrients during curing.
After cutting and curing in the paddock, hay is baled into:
  • Large square bales (e.g. 8x4x3)
  • Round bales
  • Small squares (on request) All bales are shedded promptly to protect from weather and maintain freshness.

Yes, especially the 2nd and 3rd cuts, which are finer, softer, and high in protein. These cuts are popular with horse owners due to their digestibility and nutritional value.
Oaten hay is a versatile feed—great for cattle, sheep, and horses. It’s high in fibre, palatable, and often used during dry seasons as a reliable roughage source.
