1st Cutting Orchard-Alfalfa (60/40) – Steady Nutrition With a Leafy Boost

This 1st cutting Orchard-Alfalfa blend (60/40) offers a thoughtful balance between rich alfalfa leaf and classic orchardgrass fiber. It’s a great choice for horses who benefit from a small amount of alfalfa in their diet without jumping to high-calorie forage. Its nutritional profile supports steady condition and mild workloads, while remaining approachable for horses sensitive to sugar.

The orchardgrass adds roughage and structure for chewing time, while the alfalfa increases palatability and supports protein intake. Ideal for horses with moderate maintenance needs, or those who would benefit from lower sugar content.

  • 1st cutting blend of orchardgrass and alfalfa
  • Soft, leafy structure with lovely aroma
  • Mid-range protein and low sugar
  • Visually appealing flakes, easy to feed and portion

This hay is lab-tested and verified, so you always know what you're feeding.

I love this company and their hay! They worked so hard and diligently to find us the right hay for a variety of equines at our sanctuary and even found it at a discounted price for us. They are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. We now have better hay with less waste and at a better price. We couldn't be happier with Sweet Grass!

We love this family and their hay! We have an entire semi load and every bale is so consistent, it’s unbelievable. Best part is they used their skid loader and we didn’t touch a bale. 800 beautiful bales and we just watched our barn fill up. How wonderful is that?! We just foaled out our first crop of foals on this hay as well. And when Momma and baby look this good 2 weeks post birth? I couldn’t be happier! Thank you!

These are the kindest, most caring, and hard working people! You can not find a hay source that cares more about your animals health than Nicole and Alvin. AND Alvin is a magician with his bob cat to help you get the most hay you can in your storage!

We have two quarter horses. One is an easy keeper and the other can be difficult to keep from going hangry. I found Nicole and Alvin on Facebook, and the hay quality did NOT disappoint. Well versed in dietary needs and feeding schedules, they both went above and beyond explaining what they would do to help keep our horses happy, healthy, and fed PROPERLY. Highly recommend this sweet family for all your quality hay needs!
