Harvest Date - September 2020
Timothy hay is a grass hay, but the "cuts" on the Timothy hay are very different. My farmers cut ALL their hay a couple weeks before other farmers. Even though his yield is lower, his quality is better and the hay is younger and contains more nutrition.
3rd Cut Timothy Hay
3rd cut Timothy hay is a gift, not a given. There are so many variables to this cutting of hay, such as weather, moisture, and temperature that sometimes entire crops are lost.
It is cut in late September or early October, and is the best selling hay in our inventory spanning more than 14 years.
It has nearly no stem, is wide and leafy. It is a soft and pliable hay that you can literally wind around your fingers like the bluegrass. It normally has a bit of brown leaf to it, but that never seems to matter to the critters! It is loved by guinea pigs, chins, rabbits and degus. It is a nice green color and will have very few, if any, seed heads. If the harvest goes well and there is no rain, I will be carrying this hay at the end of September or beginning of October.
I've been told by many, many customers that their animals won't eat hay, only to find that they love this cutting and is the only one they will eat! I have found that to be true with one of my own guinea pigs as well. If you have a hard time getting your pet to eat hay, try this cutting.
Bunnies love it, has some brown, but it is fresh and soft. They have it as a treat everyday along with second cut hay all the time! They run for it, and Inca even grunts with happiness!
United StatesI've bought it twice. It is not dusty. All 4 guinea pigs approve.
United StatesI have three boars who will leave their veg for this hay. Very happy with it.

I'd been giving my piggies the second cut timothy, which they liked except for the stems - which of course they would toss to the ground and never ever eat. I switched to third cut and there's almost no waste now - they devour almost every little bit they can sink their teeth into! Definitely going to keep getting this one any time it's available.
United StatesMy fussy bunny doesnt like any other hay. Only this type.
