Hay maturity is a complex topic and there are many facets that can affect the timing of a harvest and, thus, the maturity and characteristics of the hay harvested.  At Oxbow, we practice an "early cut" harvest philosophy and perform both nutritional and organoleptic testing on our hay to ensure that it is a high-quality, nutritionally appropriate part of your pet's diet.  For more information on hay maturity and Oxbow's hay process, visit the resource links below:
