Timothy 2nd Cut

Delivery across North Central Florida or pickup at our Williston farm. How delivery works.
Timothy 2nd cut hay, Nevada-grown, the leafier follow-up to 1st cut. Fine stem, super-leafy, low sugar, flakes apart beautifully in the feed room. Perfect for picky eaters, show horses, and metabolic horses whose owners want a palatable timothy without the sugar spike of alfalfa or western coastal grass. Higher in protein than 1st cut, lower in NDF, and softer on sensitive mouths. Every lot is lab-tested. Delivered across Williston, Ocala, Gainesville, Dunnellon, Hernando, Belleview, and the rest of our Central Florida route. If you're managing a horse on a weight-restricted diet but his body condition keeps slipping, second-cut timothy is often the cut that actually gets eaten.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you dye your hay? It is always so green.
No, we never dye our hay. The bright green color comes from the Nevada growing conditions. The high desert climate has very low humidity, so hay dries quickly in the field without bleaching or losing color. Irrigation keeps the plants healthy and green through the growing season. What you see is the natural result of premium growing conditions.
What is the difference between 1st and 2nd cutting timothy?
First cut timothy is harvested first in the growing season. It has more stem, higher fiber, and lower protein. It is great for easy keepers or horses that need to lose weight because they chew longer for fewer calories. Second cut is harvested later. It is leafier, softer, finer-stemmed, and higher in protein and digestible energy. Most horse owners prefer 2nd cut because horses love it and it flakes apart beautifully. Both are excellent hay, just different nutritional profiles.
