I've sold a lot of small squares over the last couple decades. Mostly to horse folk, some for goats. All hay is dusty. A lot of buyers do not understand this. Some will be educated, some will not. As others said, dust comes from the ground when baled and some comes from the leaf shatter. Neither of these is a big deal in normal quantities. What is a big deal is if you have an off odor, dust or not. When you crack a bale and stick your face between the flakes, it should smell like summer on the hayfield. A pleasant smell. Depending on age and tightness of bale,and assuming you are not spraying a preservative, there will be a least a hint of green color INSIDE the bale. If it smells like anything else...mold, etc...it is cattle feed and the price goes down. Around here there are people that send this to the auctions, but that is very dishonest. I test bales with my nose, not my eyes. I'm pretty sure livestock does the same.
