- When you are buying hay, you will often see 1st 2nd or 3rd cut listed along with the price. In this video I explain what that means and how it is relevant to feeding meat rabbits.
Thanks so much for watching!

Great info, looking forward to the hay quality video.
Love the knuckle crack at 1:26... lol... I had to rewind a couple times...😆
Good information as always .. Thank you
First cut in my area has more seed heads than second cut which gives it a higher fat content. Second cut has more leaves and is higher in protein. We don't usually get a third cutting because the growing season is too short. I know horse owners who feed first cut in cold weather when the animals need the fat and feed second cut in warm weather when they are riding or working their horses.
This is why regional knowledge is so important! I usually don't see to many seed heads in most cuttings, but it depends on the farm.
Great information
glad I watched this. I thought it was the opposite.
