[RC] hay in egypt - Budler,Cindy - Afrox

Teff would work great- but it is annual and would need to be re-planted. You
could also look at the other kind of hay we have out here- family of teff-
the eragrostis curvula.
This grass is thicker but if cut early has lovely seed heads and the horses
love it- keeps well and is very robust and needs re-planting only every 7
years or so.Here are the average values for both types. What works well is
to mix the two grasses first season as the teff will grow strong- give you
hay and then the eragrostis will take over and you will have agreat field
for next 7 odd years!

Now I just wish we could get Beet Pulp here!!!!
