Southern New Mexico alfalfa hay is known for, excellent feed value, and and consistent quality thanks to abundant sunshine, low humidity, and reliable irrigation. Its lack of blister beetle contamination also makes it a preferred choice for horse and livestock owners. Alfalfa is a nutrient-rich legume hay commonly fed to animals that need extra protein, energy, and calcium. It's a high fiber hay that promotes healthy digestion while also providing more calories and nutrients than most grass hays. Alfalfa is commonly used for horses, dairy cows, beef cattle, goats, sheep, and rabbits. Alfalfa is beneficial for growing animals, pregnant or nursing females, and working or performance animals because it helps support muscle development, healthy weight gain, milk production, and overall body condition. Due to its rich nutritional content, alfalfa is often fed alongside other hays rather than as the sole source of forage for animals that do not require high energy diets.
