Gary was very excited this morning to be part of this hay discussion!

Understanding that many show families are not from livestock production backgrounds, I think this is a valuable discussion….

When we first receive an animal in, they are on full “free choice” hay for at least a week or so until they’ve settled in and acclimated to their surroundings. Age pending, this new structure for them can be quite different and very stressful.

This large “dodgeball size” handful of good clean grass hay is what we provide per sheep per feeding (twice a day). We give it to them once they finish their grain. On Sundays, we probably increase this amount by 2-3 times at least to fill them up when we skip the evening grain feeding. (We personally do not raise goats, but I understand this amount is probably double what they require.)

Some people will feed less.
Some people will feed more.
It’s only one piece to the puzzle and your goal is to find what works for you. 🧩

One thing to remember…. If your sheep have a hay belly at home, it. is. okay. That typically means their rumen is doing its job and they’re healthy and happy!

By the time you haul to a show, start your show feeding / drenching and pull back the hay (if applicable), they will have the rib shape they need to have for the ring.

Why hay? 👉🏻 Sheep & their other ruminant counterparts have 4 compartments in their stomach. When they eat long stem forges, it stimulates cud chewing, promotes saliva production (buffering ph in the rumen) and maintains a healthy gut microbiome.

What’s more… the actual texture and length of the forage “scratches” or stimulates the walls of the rumen. This step is essential for nutrient absorption. Fiber supplements help, but the actual length and texture of hay is important.

Added bonus ➡️ it actually helps prevent bloat by action as an anti-foaming agent in the digestive tract!

Things to be careful of…. Too much energy in your hay. I’ve had some people say to find the lowest quality but still clean grass hay they will eat. Alfalfa can be a little risky from a frothy bloat standpoint and also providing excess nutrients since we’re relying on their grain / concentrate diet for that.

If you have other tips or food for thought on the hay front, drop them in ⤵️
