[QUOTE="txag, post: 56311, member: 8"] you think cows don't prefer this too? most cows have preferences as well. just because they [i]prefer[/i] it doesn't mean they must have it (i'd prefer to drive a Lexus but doesn't mean that's what i get). i don't feed any horses but imo the whole term "horse quality" is a farce that got started because people didn't know enough about buying hay to question the nutrition content but were told they should ask for "horse quality" & had no idea what that meant. on the other hand, why should you feed anything crappy hay? we sell coastal hay that is "horse quality" in the sense that you first alluded to.......high protein, no weeds, heavily fertilized, cut before maturity. when we sell it we price it as high-quality hay & all buyers (cattle & horse) pay the same price. the only time a horse owner may pay more for our hay is if we've already stacked it in the barn.....then the price goes up!
