Video: Old Hay For Bedding: SMART Sheep Farming!

Instead of throwing out hay that’s lost its feed value, we put it to good use in the barns. Old hay is not only cost-effective, but it also provides warm, soft, and absorbent bedding that keeps our sheep dry and comfortable during the cold months.

We’ll walk you through our process, explain why we choose hay over straw, and share how this simple switch can save money and reduce waste on your farm.

If you’re raising sheep or thinking about it, this is one of those small but smart management practices that really adds up over time.
