I have always heard of Horse Sense but what i can't figure out is why they don't pass it on to their owners.
I'm dealing with 3 guys who have mules and horses and you wouldn't believe how these guys are about there HAY.
One guy walks the field after cutting and raking and says that looks great. We tell him the moisture is shade high and he's all upset. we have to leave it one more day rain not due till late tonight but he's worried. Boy I can see why a lot of people won't sell to horse people.
they worry about a small amount of mold. don't these people check the hay before feeding it. all it take is to flip though the folds to see any mold in it.
Well when we get this last one we may not want to do another till next year just to get back to making hay without all that will my hay hurt my poor horse or is it going rot in the barn will it burn the place down." "NO ITS LESS than 20%" "Here's a paper from the Missouri School of agronomy read it."
Some of the hay is less than 14% and they are worried about it burning the barn down. Can't tell them it needs to be 18 to 20% to make good hay.
There are times when I wish we had never bought that moisture tester.
