Vetch Hay 84285
Coonamble, NSWGood mature vetch and rye blended hay. Firmly packed 8x4x3 bales with good leaf retention within the bales. A reasonable range for moisture with most bales reading between 11-13%. Good colour dispersed throughout each bale with some more golds and tans than normally expected likely due to increased curing time. As with much vetch hay some hay and soil dust will settle out during feeding. A great hay type for growing and fattening cattle.
