[RC] cubed hay - Patti Kuvik

Mountain Sunrise has a variety of pellets, cubes and "compacted" hay bales.
They say the pellets are "approved for wilderness and National Forest use".

Ontario Dehy has a variety of cubes, including a low-sugar timothy cube that
has had the minerals balanced to a hay analysis (this cube is a smaller size
than traditional cubes).

In Washington (and expanding into No. CA), Sterett Bros has a variety of
pelleted hays. They also have a low-sugar mineral balanced pellet available
on a limited basis and a packer pellet.

Sacate and Lakin pellets are both from AZ - would just caution that AZ hays
tend to be high iron and low copper/zinc, don't know how much they
compensate for this.

Lots of cubed and pellet type hay replacements in areas with no pasture,

and

dense stables, such as Los Angles. Some of the stables used to buy cubes in
bulk, and it arrived in a dump truck. That was all that was fed. No hay. A
lot less waste, and I am sure was more economical for them.  I fed a diet

of

hay replacement pellets for about 2 years when in CA. Horses did very, vey
well. I fed Sacate brand pellets out of Arizona. They have a Bermuda /
alfalfa blend. Bought them at Petsmart. A nice grade pellet. Just like hay,
you can smell it, and tell if it is quality stuff, or poor grade.
