I just ordered my latest batch of 3rd cut Western Timothy hay from Kleenmana. It should arrive in about 5 days. Woohoo!!! When I open the storage hay box the pigs go nuts over the smell. I figure that's about as good an endorsement of the product as it gets.
The 45 pounds cost $26, plus $43.47 in shipping, totaling $69.47 or $1.54/pound. The shipping always seems so outrageous, but when it's put in a per pound price, it is better than what I paid at the feed/grain store, and much better than the pet store prices. The first time I bought a 50 pound box of Oxbow Western Timothy at the feed/grain store, it was only $1.50/pound, but the next time it was $2/pound, making ordering from KM look really good.
KM's Western Timothy is similar to Oxbow's Orchard grass in look and texture, though it smells much better. A lot of people have asked what it's like, and that's the best way I can describe it.
I hope this information helps people decide if they want to buy from Kleenmama.

Cool! Thats a good idea to put the hay in bins. How many bins for the 45 pounds of hay? I am thinking about getting that, because the hay I get is always so dusty when I get to the bottom, so its a waste. I'll have to figure out how much I'm paying by the pound. You have some lucky piggies!!! The quality of hay Kleenmama has looks good to me.

I just got my order of KM hay yesterday! I agree with Jenny, the storage box does seem link a good idea, do you cut holes in the box?

Don't know the size of the bins, but it really takes about 4 bins to store it all. I only have room for three bins, so I fill those, and leave the rest in the box until it's all gone. I would love to have drawers I could fill, as I drop so much on the floor when I fill the hay box, but that's not going to happen any time soon!!!
