Coastal, I know it well.. There was a hay shortage on the Coastal in Florida, being shipped to Texas.. The price was around $5/bale in Florida prior to the shortage.

Yeah, the green coastal that's what is recommended for horses, both by Vets and internet.

I had to switch to Timothy coming in from Colorado.. $39.00/bale (110 pounds approximately 3 bale equivalent of the coastal).

Vet says though Coastal 'good quality' about the same as the Timothy. But my horses won't touch the Coastal now..

Go figure..

Alfalfa with a higher protein content is good for active / work horses and the Timothy / Coastal lower protein content is good for easy keepers with low demands..
