Quick facts
When buying hay from a private party or from a hay auction, consider the following:
- Buy good quality hay.
- Inspect several bales and evaluate them for content (grass or alfalfa), maturity (presence or absence of seed heads or flowers), smell, color and touch.
- Ensure bales are free of mold, dust and weeds.
- If possible, have the hay tested for quality before purchase.
- Try to keep your hay type (grass or alfalfa) consistent.
The auctions and individuals listed below are not endorsed by the University of Minnesota. They are meant to serve as a resource for horse owners.
