JC+ Ranch - Colorado Grass Hay For Sale
Home grown on our farm 50 miles north east of Denver. As horse owners ourselves we care a great deal about feeding consistent quality hay to our own extended family members. Since 2003 we have offered locally grown high quality roughage for the dicriminating horse owner- consistent quality AND reliable service. We deliver north-south from Castlerock to Fort Collins and east-west from Strasburg to Conifer. Quality- Fields scientificly tested and chemically fertilized for highest quality possible. NO waste- either animal or human is applied to our irrigated fields. Hay is baled as dry as possible to avoid spoilage. We use moisture probes and target an average moisture level of 16-17% (moisture below 20% is recommended to avoid spoilage). NO chemical additive/preservatives are ever applied. Consistent in quality and availablity- Horse hay has been the primary business of our farm since 2003. We produce an average of 21,000 small bales (630 tons) per year and have hay available on average 9 months per year. We seed the grass, irrigate it, cut it, rake it, bale it, stack it and we deliver it... in other words we control the production of our hay start to finish. We do not wholesale, our average customer buys 400-500 bales per year; feeding 3-4 horses. We deliver over 90% of the hay we produce. Service- When you call to inquire about this years hay you will either get me immediately on the phone or get your call returned in short order. If I cannot meet your needs Ill usually be able to provide another resource for you. I manage the marketing and planning for the farm and try to be available to answer inquiries, questions, schedule deliveries, etc. We check email daily and respond promptly. Pricing- We price our hay based on 1) quality 2) costs 3) our production and lastly 4) the market. We are NOT your cheapest source for hay. We DO represent a good value when all factors are considered. Because we are set up to store our hay under cover and want to have hay available for most of the year we do not have fire sales to liquidate inventory. You can reach us at 303-880-0847. We are looking forward to hearing from you. You can also contact us at our e-mail address: johncox@grasshay.net We currently have 1st and 2nd cut grass horse quality grass and some cow hay available. Sold out on pasture grass and alfalfa. Premium Grass (1st) $7/bale Premium Grass (2nd) $7/bale Alfalfa (2nd) SOLD OUT Pasture Grass SOLD OUT Premium Grass is irrigated Orchard and Meadow Brome. Orchard and Meadow Brome are cool season grasses. As a result they grow rapidly from April to June, go dormant in the heat of summer then get a boost in growth in the fall. 1st cutting usually starts and finishes in June and accounts for about 2/3 of total annual production, 2nd cutting usually starts in mid September and finishes by mid October and provides 1/3 of annual production. The grass shoots up a stem and seed head in the early season, resulting in much higher total production than 2nd. While the nutritional value of the two cuttings is comparable they are significantly different in nature. 1st cutting has all the stems and seed heads, flaking and holding together nicely; while 2nd is often described as lawn clippings as it is all grass leaf and flakes have less structure. As a result of the stems vs. no stems... 1st generally takes longer for a horse to consume vs. 2nd. Opinions always vary among horse folks but generally I suggest 1st for most horses- it gives them something to do for a longer period and provides the nutrition they need, 2nd is preferred for horses that are hard keepers , have mouth problems or are on pasture while being fed. premium colorado grass horse hay. barn stored.
