Wheaten hay bales drying in a field
Wheaten Hay · Yass NSW

A stalkier, lower-sugar cereal hay, useful where oaten is too sweet.

Wheaten is the cereal hay you reach for when you need bulk without the sugar. It's stalkier than oaten and not quite as palatable to horses, but it's a great fit for laminitis-prone ponies, dry cows, and anyone running maintenance rations through winter.

Best for

Who this hay suits.

  • Laminitic and metabolic horses (with soaking)

Why our wheaten stands up.

Lower sugar, lower risk

Useful for ponies, donkeys and any horse that's a candidate for soaking, you start with less sugar in the bale.

Bulk economics

Per kilo, wheaten is usually the cheapest hay we sell. If you've got numbers of dry cattle to carry through winter, this is the one.

Wheaten Hay: questions buyers ask

Should I feed wheaten hay to my horse?
Wheaten works well for horses that can't have sugary feed, laminitis-prone, EMS, PPID. Most healthy adult horses prefer the taste of oaten but will eat wheaten readily once they're used to it. Soak it for 30–60 minutes if you're managing a sugar-sensitive horse.
Is wheaten hay good for cattle?
Yes. It's a workhorse hay for dry cows and stockers. Pair with a protein supplement (lick block or pellet) and you've got a complete maintenance ration.
