Welcome to High Desert Hay & Forage, where our commitment to quality and tradition extends from Vale, OR, to the horse-loving community in Eagle, ID. We specialize in delivering top-notch horse bedding and forage products that meet the diverse needs of your equine companions. Backed by four generations of farming excellence, our family-operated business ensures that your horses receive the best possible care and comfort.
The journey of our premium horse bedding starts in the lush fields of Vale, OR. Using state-of-the-art large balers, we harvest hay over 100 acres a night, creating over 150 tons of high-grade hay. This ensures not only efficiency but also consistency in quality, regardless of weather conditions.
Once harvested, the hay undergoes a pressing process that transforms large bales into compact, space-efficient bundles. This innovative method doubles the density, allowing you to store and manage your supply with ease. Each bale is uniform in size, making stacking and handling a breeze.
The pressing not only increases density but also crushes the stems, creating softer and more palatable bedding. This feature is especially beneficial for equine health, ensuring that horses have a comfortable, hygienic living environment that reduces waste and leads to better overall care.
High Desert Hay & Forage, owned by Lowell Whitaker and his son Matt, is deeply rooted in the farming community. With decades of experience, our expertise guarantees a product that is as dependable as it is effective, ensuring that your horses are cared for with every use.
At High Desert Hay & Forage, we understand that your horses deserve bedding that ensures comfort and cleanliness while minimizing waste. Here’s why our horse bedding stands out:
