23.01.2022 Looking for affordable grass hay for horses? We have ryegrass squares for $5. This is good clean hay that was cut early. Only this price because it has some bleaching due to rain. No mould and not discoloured. Our horses are very happy with it.

22.01.2022 Yesterday we cut a paddock planted this year with Avalon AR1 ryegrass and a mix of clovers. AR1 refers to the endophyte. AR1 is described as the horse safe endophyte. This will be available in small squares for $7 per bale from our shed.

21.01.2022 Looking for quality horse hay? We still have plenty of this seasons rye and clover hay in small squares. The ryegrass is Avalon AR1. AR1 is the horse safe endophyte.

20.01.2022 Homestead Hay was established in 2016. We make and sell hay from our 200 acre property in Irrewarra Victoria. Our objective is to have good quality hay available all year at a fair price. We are horse people. Our approach is to only sell hay that we would be more than happy to feed to our own horses.... Our hay crops include ryegrass based pasture, ryegrass and clover, pure clover, lucerne and oats. We also have chaff for sale made from our hay.

18.01.2022 A big thank you to all our customers who helped make our first year at full production a successful and enjoyable one. We look forward to seeing you again next season.

16.01.2022 Ryegrass Pasture Hay Small Squares. $6 per bale pick up from Irrewarra. This is clean sweet smelling hay that has no rain damage and no risk of mould. Average weight bales,... Our horses love it.

15.01.2022 Our oats is also growing well. This is Forester Oats planted in May this year. Forester is a late maturing oat which should allow us to make the hay before the grain develops. This means better quality hay and less problems with mice. Hay and chaff from this crop will be available from December 2017.

12.01.2022 Just letting everyone know we are still delivering hay and will continue to unless restriction require us to stop. To minimise risk we would prefer payments by bank transfer. I am happy to communicate electronically and deliver unassisted so you can keep your distance, stay inside or be in your car. Lets stay safe and keep your animals fed.

11.01.2022 How do we know if our hay is good? Hay quality is determined by three factors: 1. The quality of the crop used to make hay. 2. What time in the crop lifecycle the hay was cut. 3. How well the hay was cured.... In later posts we will describe these factors and rate our hay.

11.01.2022 A quick update on stock levels. We have been moving a lot of hay in the last few weeks. Some lines have now sold out for this season....

06.01.2022 Assessing quality of the crop. The best quality hay comes from a crop which is predominantly the target species, does not have weeds and is a variety suited to hay production. We score the crops we use for hay from 1 (low) to 5 (high) using the scale shown in the attached image.
