KFS Supreme hay is a soft textured high quality Endophyte free hay containing Cocksfoot and Timothy grasses. It provides a safe option for horses prone to staggers without losing the high fibre and digestibility.
Supreme bales have been compressed from a conventional bale size down to a quarter of it’s original size using the latest compacting technology. The smaller size hay bale is ideal for lifestyle blocks, horse studs and smaller farming operations, making it easier to manage, store and handle without losing any of the goodness.
The Good to Go bale is compacted from 100cm x 46cm down to 50cm x 23cm but still contains the equivalent amount of feed as one standard bale.

Feeding Guide
The KFS Compact bale is the same weight as a regular conventional hay bale, but with the benefit of being compressed.
This creates a much smaller size hay bale for ease of handling but without losing the quantity or quality of the hay. The compact bale will still break up into flakes or biscuits like a conventional hay bale which makes it easy to feed out but care must be taken not to overfeed.
Once the bale is opened and the strings cut, the flakes will relax and expand slightly allowing you to extract the hay. This process can be sped up by breaking the flake up by hand, in which case the hay will relax out to the same volume as a regular flake.
Monitor the feed quantity
Because the hay has been so tightly compressed, it is very important to weigh or gauge each flake to ensure that you are feeding the correct amount and not overfeeding. If managed correctly you will get the same amount of coverage as from a conventional bale.
