Hay is for Horses (and other livestock): Hay Selection and Feeding Tips
Hay is for Horses (and other livestock): Hay Selection and Feeding Tips
It’s about time to start feeding new crop hay if you haven't already started. Generally, feed is the largest cost for horse and livestock owners, and the quality of feed greatly affects animal health and production. You can choose to attend a discussion on equine nutrition and feeding with Dr. Devan Catalano, CSU Equine Specialist, or ruminant nutrition and feeding with Lyndsay Gonzalez, Boulder County SAM Coordinator. Look at, touch, and smell different types and qualities of hay with corresponding lab analyses. We will cover what to look for when purchasing hay, hay quality, interpreting hay analyses, and best feeding practices. This event is scheduled for October 19th from 9 - 11 am at the Ag Heritage Center in Longmont (8348 Ute Hwy, Longmont, CO). This event is free to the public.
