Wyoming Hay Cubes
Nestled up against the Rocky Mountains of Wyoming this region is known for vast open spaces, beautiful mountain views and an abundance of wildlife but few people know that this area produces some of the highest quality hay in the world. Wyoming’s dry climate, high elevation, warm days and cool nights with an abundance of irrigation water available create a unique environment for producing high quality forage.
Random Alfalfa Facts.
Alfalfa is in the same plant family as peas, beans and clover. Alfalfa has been cultivated for fodder for horses for over 2000 years originating from Iran and then spreading across the world as Persians, Greeks and Romans expanded their empires and took their horses and their feed with them. There is a reason alfalfa is still used for feeding to horses today and that’s because it is safe and nutritious.
The name alfalfa comes from Arabic words meaning best horse fodder or horse power.
The biggest benefit of alfalfa for horses is that it tends to be more nutrient-dense than most grasses when harvested at the same stage of maturity. It typically contains more digestible energy, more crude protein and calcium, and fewer nonstructural carbohydrates (sugars and starches).
