I had some bags the horses just wouldn't eat, I think it had prob been rained on. I've been super pleased with HayRite, they cube in the field and everyone here cleans up every speck! The field cubing thing still intrigues me... Has anyone ever seen this process? I know that's what they claim, but wouldn't that be a great marketing tool if that's truly what they do? I've asked several times and have never been provided with any sort of proof...seems odd that someone around there doesn't have a camera phone. why would they need to prove it to you?
If it's such a selling point, Jordan...then why wouldn't they want to show it to everyone?
Maybe their method is patented and would be none of your business....... |

                    Location: In the Hills of Texas | I sure like the size and how it is easy for my horse to break up the cubes. I tried the ones from Colorado and they were way too hard plus they were about $3.00 more per bag.

          Location: 100 miles from Nowhere, AR | winwillows - 2016-06-08 11:42 AM On the field cube process, I would love to see how they take the flax and oats out to the cube equipment and blend that in proper ratios in the field. That must be quite a process and a video would be a great selling point.
I wondered the same thing when browsing their product line. I can see cubing in the field for straight alfalfa, but I can't figure out how they would get the other stuff in there that way. |

HayRite mixes in oat hay, rather than adding oats. My appendix horse gets a little rice bran, but my others don't need it. The oats they're getting in the mix seems to be doing the trick.
I didn't like all the 2" shredded baling twine in Danco. The horses eat the twine with everything else. I didn't care for the concept and switched
Edited to add: I REALLY love not having to feed grain!!

That's what I thought, but their website says this:
SUPERIOR GRADE PREMIUM ALFALFA/OAT MINI CUBES APPROVED FOR ALL CLASSES OF LIVESTOCK
GUARANTEED ANALYSIS CRUDE PROTEIN NO LESS THAN 15.0 % CRUDE FAT NO LESS THAN 2.0 % CRUDE FIBER NO MORE THAN 25.0 % MOISTURE NO MORE THAN 12.0 %
INGREDIENTS: SUN-CURED ALFALFA HAY AND OATS
Which makes it sound like they're putting actual oats in the product. |

| I talked to a HayRite representative at the company's phone number and he directly stated that it's oat hay added in the field. So that's all I know. |

They need to tweak their ingredient list to be more clear then. I hate inaccurate labels, and their statement about truth in labeling is kind of ironic under the circumstances. I do love that they support American farmers. |
