:shock::shock::shock: I'd Better go check Ken's still has some in.
*whispers* Where? :lol:
I can't tell you that. 
:lol:
It was a different place to my usual (as I stupidly didn't realise they weren't open on a Tuesday) so I popped into this place on my way back. They're having to buy it in atm as they've run out of their own stuff though so I'm not sure how long they'll be able to get if for.

There doesn't seem to be a shortage in west Yorks. Always get my hay when visiting parents as can't find a decent supplier in Manchester.
Hope you find a solution soon xx

Remind me where you are - we still have hay in Cambridge - though its now £7 a bale - I get through a bale a week plus 2 bales of straw and a huge thing of Aubiose -
ummmmm im gonna sounds sooooooooooooo stoopid but..... whats with the shortage of hay???
The proper farm grown hay struggled to grow last year because of the weather and the high amount of rain and shortage of sun (think that's what they said). They only got two cuts, as opposed to three, and were still recovering from the shortage of the year before.
This time last year they already knew there would be a shortage last summer, but so far they are still debating and say it depends on what weather we get, so I'm hpoing for no shortage this time next year.

Bit off topic but do you feed meadow hay and just top up with alfalfa or do you only feed alfalfa? Alfalfa is very high in calcium and shouldn't be fed freely as calcium can cause problems with stones and sludge.

Tracey we have the same problem locally. My normal farm ran out in January and bought some in which wasn't good so I went elsewhere. They ran out of that too about a month ago I believe.
The farm where I go now is buying in and again it's not great. He's not sure how long he will be able to get any. :-(
(BTW, I have a worried face on whilst typing this)

If it's Alfalafa King, then don't worry because they pack alsorts of hays not just alfalfa.

What a nightmare
I hope your worried face eases once you have stopped typing and thinking about it.I'm totally hand to mouth with hay too at the moment. Have been reduced to Easy Pack hay but that being said made an emergency run to the farm yesterday and they filled me two bags of thier own hay. I used it today and honestly, it smelt like beans on toast :lol:
It just smelt soooooo good and tasty!! I was ready to eat it myself
Shame I only have two bags :roll:
