| Does anyone feed this? If so, how do you like it and how much do you feed at one time? It says on their site that one bale is a 4X4X8 bale compressed. Just wondering how long one bale would last one horse? I looked at them last night and they almost seemed hard and straw-like to me.

| I feed them. When you cut them open they are not hard. My horses love them and I mix with their regular hay. I don't feed much between the 3 and one bale last about a week for my 3. They only get about a flake a piece a day mixed with their regular hay. |

Location: Got Lobsta? | I do the bale in a bag as my TS stopped carrying the regular compressed bales. Like previous poster, just cut the strands and it puffs out. I only feed 1 flake as a supplement to their regular hay. Horses love it! |

| I picked up a bale when I was traveling and it was pure dust. My horses coughed and refused to eat it. |

Location: Washington. (The DRY side.) | My goats wouldn't even eat it! It was terrible, bleached (inside) are REALLY dry. It HAS to be dry. They start out with a big bale. It they aren't dry they mold. They aren't a 4x4x8 that is compressed. (Exactly.) They START with a 4x4x8, Compress, slice it up, weigh, compress AGAIN and band. Handling it a THAT much, it is not a surprice that you end up with a small, dusty bale, that is mostly stems! |

Location: In the Hills of Texas | I didn't have any luck with them and tried them at different times of the year. All were very dusty and I had to wet them down and they were all stemmy. I got 2 moldy bales. I gave up. |

Location: North Dakota | I feed them. They do have a lot of alfalfa dust (but not dirt dust, unlike some of the hay my boarding barn feeds :/) on them but my horses don't seem to care and LOVE them. I just feed a flake a day as a supplement to the grass hay they get. All I've had have been consistently the same in quality and I've never found any mold, trash, etc. in them. I just wish they weren't so expensive. One bale only lasts around a week.
