Location: The Oklahoma plains. | I am curious as well. If you have access to transport- the New Mexico Growers Assoc is a good source.
Otherwise I recommend the chopped guaranteed Lucerne Farms items to get you by. |

Location: Fort Worth / Springtown | I get mine from Hay USA in Weatherford Texas - they have CA and OR alfalfa - I like the Oregon MUCH better, but the CA is pretty good, even though they do leave SOME stems on the ground, it is not nearly as bad as when I've bought at other local feed stores.
Hay USA delivers also....I forget the cost per mile - I don't think it is round trip, just one way. |

Yes that is for their 3 string bales....I'm going tonight, so I'll check their board and get the ton prices and get back to y'all.

| If you can't find any alfalfa hay to buy, I would suggest feeding Chaffhaye. |

I tried that and my horses turned their noses up and thought I was poisoning them. They would not touch it.
