Timothy hay.

Did I read somewhere that feeding Timothy hay isn't supposed to be as good as feeding a mixed hay, it bugging me but I can't remember why?
 
I would imagine that meadow hay could offer a better variety of nutirients because of all the variation in plants, but no bale would be the same.

I predominantly feed meadow from my local farm and all the buns go mad for it but a couple I feed a mixture as they are dental buns and I'm hoping the stalkier timothy hay will be more of a workout for their teeth.
 
I feed mine meadow hay in the morning then from then onwards timothy hay till the next morning, and avoid any treats that have alfalfa n them
