Hay is made up of dried cereal crops like grass or legumes. High-quality hay consists of seed heads, stalks, and leaves and has a green color. It is mainly used as livestock feed when pasture is limited. Common types of hay include timothy, bluegrass, Bermuda, ryegrass, fescue, alfalfa, and clover.
- Timothy hay: A type of grass hay, timothy hay is primarily fed to horses due to its high fiber, high energy, and low protein content.
- Orchard grass: Orchard grass is popular hay for horses. It is high in protein, fiber, and calories.
- Oat hay: Oat hay is easy to grow and makes good feed for young livestock.
- Triticale: Triticale is a hybrid of rye and wheat. It has a high protein content and is easy for livestock to digest.
- Alfalfa: Alfalfa provides an adequate protein level to livestock at low to moderate levels. High protein is vital for lactating dairy cattle. High protein levels can cause bloating.
Farmers grow grasses such as ryegrass, fescue, and timothy or legumes such as alfalfa and clover. Farmers then harvest the grain crops when the crops have seeds. The harvested crop is cut and dried and formed into hay bales.
