[Gpdd] HEALTH [hay sources]

[Nancy Tuffli]

Hi Louise,

How do you store your hay?  Is the hay treated with pesticides?  Does it 
come with bugs (ha ha)?  I have been wanting to buy bales of hay but have 
been aprehensive due to these questions.

Thanks!
Nancy

>I found that all the online sources were very expensive - the hay itself is
