Anyone use them? Is it good hay? It looks like it from the webpage, but not looked at it in person. I've been buying mine from a feed store a few hours away and it's good hay, but it's gotten more stemmy. I know nothing about it. Just know that it was grown locally, but I don't know anything about cutting and this and that. Driving to Texas and picking some up wouldn't be but maybe 10-15 more minutes for me. Just curious on thoughts!

They're awesome! I buy their alfalfa. He is a wonderful guy and will give you an analysis of each load of hay he brings in. Every time they get a new shipment in they send you an email and tell you the type and the analysis of it as well. My horses love the alfalfa - not the Jiggs hay they sold though. I got 4 3-strand bales of alfalfa yesterday for $20 a bale. He brings in other hay - not just local grown stuff. The alfalfa i got yesterday is not very stemmy whatsoever - it falls a part it's so leafy!

Thanks! Glad to hear it's good! The Tomball or Whitesboro locations aren't much further of a drive than what I'm making in Oklahoma. I would love to price a 28' dry van full and have it drop shipped, but I'm afraid it would take me forver to go thru that much unless I go straight free choice alfalfa. I'm paying $7.95 for a wire two strand bale that's supposedly 65-70 lbs, but they're more like 50 lbs and my horses are leaving the stems behind.
I feed hay from them, its excellent, literally all leaf, I feed half the amount of it that I was feeding from the other place I was buying it because there is literally no stem in it. My horses love it and are doing great on it.
