Description:
|
Nick Westcott has been supplying top quality forage & straw bedding in the Exmoor and West Somerset area for over 20 years. Haylage Solutions offers excellent quality, sweet tasting haylage which is highly palatable for horses and ponies. Haylage is available in large square bales in three sizes (suitable for yards with two or more horses).
Haylage Solutions maintains a good stock of the previous years haylage, ensuring that clients can continue to feed well into the autumn before the current year's haylage is ready. Haylage and bedding is delivered directly to clients in Devon, Exmoor and Somerset.
All grass is cut from land on Haylage Solutions own farms where there is continual management control, all year round. With all of their own machinery, Haylage Solutions can ensure that grass is cut and baled at the optimum time to ensure consistent quality.
The grass is a mixture of rye grasses, fescues, timothy and clover, which means that there is better fermentations in the bales as there are higher sugars in the traditional grasses.
Haylage Solutions offers early or late cuts of haylage to suit horse owners needs:
Early Cut Haylage
Haylage cut earlier in the season - for example, in June - contains higher protein suitable for horses in work.
Later Cut Haylage
Grass cut later, for example in July or August , has less energy in the grass and less protein and is suitable for horses in lighter work.
Land Management
Haylage Solutions uses Grasstrac on all pasture in the spring, which corrects any trace element deficiences and promotes healthy soil conditions. This avoids the need for heavy, artificial fertisliers applications. Pasture is regularly limed to maintain correct Ph levels. All the land is grazed by sheep until the end of March each year, which avoids the grass becoming dead in the base before cutting. It is then grazed again after cutting.
One Cut Only
Haylage Solutions only takes one cut of grass per field each year. The grass is not forced through frequent cutting and is allowed to grow naturally and this reduces the need for heavy artificial fertiliser applications, resulting in a better quality and sweeter product for horses.
Delivery
Haylage is delivered to clients directly. Haylage Solutions offers delivery primarily in the West Somerset, North Devon and Exmoor area, but delivery can easily be organised further afield by arrangement.
