I have always assumed Orchard grass hay was better than timothy hay for feeding. My usual orchard grass supplier had a bad growing year and I've been having a heck of time finding any. I finally found a place but he called it "Western Orchard Grass" hay. Never heard that before, but I've heard of western timothy. Started to make me wonder what he was going to be selling me so I tried to look it up. In trying to find it I see that timothy is actually lower in protein than orchard grass? I though it was the other way around? Is orchard grass hay better than timothy?
