Can you use it for soaked or steamed hay?Updated 10 months ago
The hay bags can hold soaked or steamed hay. If you are planning to steam the hay in the bag, please take into account that the bags are designed to withstand temperatures ranging from -22°F up to 158°F. Be sure to double-check your steam system’s highest temperature before opting to steam it in the bag. For soaked or steamed hay the best option is to hang the bags so they can drain. The snack and half bale sizes work great for this. It is very easy to fill the bags with hay, dunk it in a trough, and then hang it up. The Zip bags will also work, however we would recommend any wet hay be cleaned out of them and not sit longer than 24 hours since those wouldn't drain as easily. Also, keep in mind that the material is waterproof (not breathable); therefore, we would recommend hanging it for feeding and cleaning it out regularly to prevent mold.
