[Jacob-list] Feeding Jacobs

Neal - 
 
Thanks for the information on alfalfa.  In anticipation of another  long, dry 
summer here in the South, Greg and I have been looking to stock up on  first 
cut hay in the field.  We found rye for $3.00 per square bale.   Fescue is 
running $6.50 or so.  How does rye grass stack up - nutrition  wise?
 
My vet suggested using the poorest hay we could find, saying it was  actually 
better for the sheep since they are primitive animals.  He says it  makes US 
feel better when we feed better hay.  I take that with a grain of  salt, but 
thought it was interesting.
