Alfalfa Hay: 2023 Harvest Report

The 2023 Ultra Premium Alfalfa we have in stock is currently a second cut that is grown at high altitudes. This keeps the stem structure thin and helps the leaves to remain attached. This year is a great example of mountain-grown Alfalfa, it has been kept indoors and so has an absolutely beautiful color.

Here is the report on what we have in stock:

Overall Rating: 9/10
Harvest: Second cut of mountain-grown Alfalfa, it was harvested in August of 2023.
Location: Northern California
Color: Deep green
Stems/Stalks: Alfalfa is a legume rather than grass hay, which is why it is higher in protein than your typical grass hay. The stalks of this are nice and thin and have been run through a conditioner that helps them to release their moisture.
Leaves: Leaves are plentiful and most are holding to the stems nicely.
Seed Heads/Flowers: Almost none.
Leaf Crush: Typical of an Alfalfa.
Weeds: None.
Brown Leaf: None.
Dust: None.

Initial Analysis Summary: This year's Alfalfa is a great example of what Alfalfa Hay should be with long stems and a generous amount of leaves.
