Low Carb / Low Sugar Hay for Horses

Small square bundles come bundled in 21s. We also run large squares and wrapped rounds.

Prices start where they start. Type, quantity and delivery distance move them, so call and we'll quote your actual load. Delivery across Chicagoland, and we ship farther out.

Sugar in hay isn’t luck. It comes from decisions made in the field.

We cut in the morning, following nights when temperatures stay above 40 degrees. Grasses build sugar through the day as they photosynthesize, so hay cut early runs lower than the same field cut at four in the afternoon.

Maturity at cutting matters too, and it cuts both ways. Hay taken later runs lower in sugar and higher in fiber, which is the right trade for some horses and the wrong one for others.

We can’t promise you a number before the lab returns it, and you should be wary of anyone who does. What we can do is tell you which of our hay is likely to land where, and then prove it with a test.

Pick any hay we have on hand and we’ll test it for you. $100, and it comes off the load if you buy.

We pull the cores properly — 12 to 20 bales probed across the stack, not a handful grabbed off the end of one bale — send the sample to Analab, and forward you the report exactly as it comes back. The report is yours whether or not you buy anything from us.

If your vet has given you a target, tell us when you call. And if what you need isn’t in the barn, we can plan a cutting around it for next season.
