Standlee Premium Orchard Grass Grab & Go Wrapped Bale - 50 lb

Standlee Premium western forage Orchard Grass Grab & Go Compressed Bales are made from high-quality sun-cured forage that is compressed and shrink-wrapped making them easier to handle and store. Standlee Orchard Grass hay is highly palatable and moderate in protein and calorie friendly.

Premium Orchard Grass Grab & Go Compressed Bales are formed by allowing Standlee Premium Western forage to grow to the proper stage of maturity, cutting the plants, allowing them to sun-cure (dry) to an acceptable moisture level and baling the forage at the optimal time. Orchard grass forage is typically slightly higher in protein and calories compared to timothy and can be moderate to high in sugar content.

Feeding Instruction

Forage is the most important component of a horse's diet and should be fed at a rate of 1.5-2.5% of a horse's body weight.

Feeding Tips

• Weigh the amount of forage provided to each horse to ensure you are feeding the proper amount. This is especially important with baled and compressed forage since similar volumes of forage (a flake for example) vary in weight.
• Cut the bands on compressed bales 8 to 10 hours before feeding to allow the bale to expand to avoid overfeeding.
• Gradually replace existing hay with Standlee Premium western forage over a 7-10 day period. Replace existing hay on a 1 to 1 basis with Standlee Premium western forage.
• Never feed moldy or insect-infested forage to horses
• Always provide free-access to fresh, clean water

Target Feeding Rate

Gradually replace existing hay with Standlee over a 7-14 day period.

Animal max feeding rate.

• Cattle (max): 3%
• Donkey (max): 1.5%
• Goat (max): 4%
• Llama (max): 2%

Storage & Shelf Life

Forage is a natural agriculture product. Despite the use of modern processing equipment, it is not always possible to remove all foreign materials. Sort and remove foreign materials before feeding.

To maintain product quality and ensure safety, store product in a covered, cool and well-ventilated environment out of the effects of the weather.
