This will be the second year I have used this product my deer only seem to eat during winter. The only problem I have had is the few bags from last year have mold and they have not been cut or opened in anyway. I know that it produces yeast colture but this was certainly mold so try to use up whatever you can and buy fresh. not sure this product holds up foor the two years like they say.
 
if theres anyone out there that would like to try it i have plenty to use and to sell , the deer eat it but not as well as I would like so I agree, it needs to be used so it doesnt go bad , call me for more info . Jim 419-466-2286
 
Can someone tell me how big the bags are. how wide.long .and deep ,and are they 50lb bags

Thanks
 
The bags are 50 lbs sealed I have plenty for sale , 8 dollars a bag and even a better price for a bulk order . Also possible to deliver a big order ., Call Jim @ 419-466-2286 . I am in Ohio or email me [email protected]
 
We have now been using this stuff for about 4 weeks or so. I have to say so far I really like it. They clean it all up with no waste to speak of. I will know more how I like it come about June 1st.

I don't like the high cost, but I will be looking into getting this cheaper for next year. Anyone here in north central WI that might like to try this contact me. Maybe together we can get a better price going for us here in the state.
 
I have been reading about this stuff and hearing you guys talk and it just sounds like hay silage. What would the difference between hay silage and chaffhaye be?
 
It is the same thing only in a smaller bag and it is crimped, chopped and sprayed with a molasses. If you had a good field of alf-alfa this would be a good way to turn your alf-alfa into gold. One 40 pound bail of regular dry bailed hay is probaly the same as ten bags of chaff-hay. This means one regular bail of hay could be worth 100 dollars or more if bagged wet.
 
Robert if you took a bag of chaff hay and dried it probly would only way about 5 lb. Most of its wait comes from the moister. If you are paying 11 dollars a bag that would be like paying 88 dollars for a regular 40 pound bail of dry hay.What I was trying to say is this would be a good business for a hay farmer to get into much more profit to be made.

My deer did not like it at first but now they will eat it up. This is a very good product but very high priced.If their were more producers of this product in local area's it would probly be more affordable.
 
I purchased some from Henry last week. It didn't take long for my deer to adjust to the Chaffhaye after being fed dry alfalfa all winter. Some people have mentioned the "scratch factor" on here. Anyone interested in buying this stuff should know that the whole entire plant is chopped up, including the stems. Although sprayed with molasses, the stems remain stiff and rigid and so there shouldn't be any issue with "scratch factor". I am very pleased with it. You don't have to use as much of it because it has a high density of leafy material. The deer are getting more of the nutritious parts, enough of the rough stuff and there is so much less waste.
 
Does anyone know how long Chaffhay is good for. The chaffhay I am looking at is two years old. It is stored inside and always has been. Is it any good?
