I've got 750 small squares of some of the nicest greenest cleanest 2nd cutting alfalfa mix hay we've ever put up. It was about a week or so late so a little coarser than typical, but this year getting that much hay not rained on was a miracle.
Been trying to sell it at $4 a bale. A bargain for the quality. The only serious bites we had were from one person raising Icelandic sheep, and another raising pygmy goats. Both committed to buying the hay but when each showed up they flaked out claiming the hay was "dusty." Horse people have given us the same complaint in the past.
What do they mean "dusty?" Hay *IS* dusty by nature unless you bale it up sopping wet. Dust is a sign of good dry hay.
I'm thinking these people were idiots and/or just trying to get something for nothing.
When the goat person flaked out I almost replied to her with a scathing email telling her where she could stuff it, but discretion being the better part of valor... I mean really, these animals they're raising lived on weeds and rocks and sticks and rusty tin cans in their natural habitat... yet this hay wasn't good enough for them???
