Alfalfa Hay Delivery in South Florida
High protein, nutrient-dense powerhouse — the premium choice for performance and growth
About Alfalfa Hay
Alfalfa hay is nature's superfood for horses and livestock that need extra nutritional support. Our Idaho-grown alfalfa delivers protein levels between 15-22%, packed with calcium, vitamins, and the digestible energy that performance horses, growing foals, and lactating mares demand. The deep green color and rich, sweet aroma of our alfalfa tells you everything you need to know about its quality — this is hay that animals not only need, but genuinely love to eat.

Feeding Guide
Alfalfa is calorie-dense, so most adult horses at maintenance should receive it as a supplement rather than their sole forage — typically 5-10 lbs per day mixed with grass hay. Performance horses, lactating mares, and growing youngsters can handle more, up to 15-20 lbs daily. For cattle, alfalfa provides excellent protein supplementation to grass-based diets. Monitor body condition closely when introducing alfalfa, as its palatability means animals often eat it enthusiastically.
Why Our Idaho Alfalfa Hay is Different
Idaho produces more alfalfa than almost any state in the country, and for good reason. The volcanic soil provides the perfect mineral base for alfalfa's deep root system, while the arid climate allows for clean, fast curing that preserves leaf quality and color. Idaho alfalfa consistently tests higher in protein and lower in moisture than alfalfa grown in humid regions. And the cold winters mean zero blister beetle risk — a critical safety factor that Florida horse owners cannot ignore.
Storing Alfalfa Hay in Florida
Alfalfa's higher protein and moisture content makes proper storage even more critical in Florida's humidity. Keep bales elevated on pallets, under cover, with maximum airflow. Compressed blocks from Idaho hold up significantly better than loose bales in humid conditions. Check for any white dusty appearance (mold) before feeding. Well-stored Idaho alfalfa maintains quality for 4-6 months in South Florida — though most of our customers go through it much faster than that.
Alfalfa Hay vs Other Hays
Alfalfa Hay vs Timothy
Alfalfa has nearly double the protein of Timothy (15-22% vs 8-11%) and significantly more calcium. Choose alfalfa for horses that need to gain weight, are in heavy work, or are growing. Choose Timothy for easy keepers and metabolic horses.
Alfalfa Hay vs Orchard Grass
Alfalfa is a legume while Orchard is a grass — they complement each other beautifully in blends. Our Alfalfa/Orchard mix gives you the protein boost of alfalfa with the fiber and lower sugar of orchard grass.
Alfalfa Hay vs Bermuda/Coastal
Alfalfa is nutritionally superior to Bermuda in every measurable way — higher protein, better digestibility, more vitamins and minerals. Bermuda is only preferable when you specifically need a very low-calorie, high-fiber option.
