Organic Timothy Hay for Sale in New Mexico

 A Trusted Choice for Horses and Livestock

At Hidalgo Farms, we proudly grow and supply USDA Certified Organic Timothy hay that meets the highest standards for cleanliness, texture, and nutrition. Timothy hay is one of the most sought-after forages among horse owners and livestock producers, valued for its soft stems, balanced energy, and low sugar content.

Our farm in Peña Blanca, New Mexico, cultivates Timothy hay using sustainable, organic-approved methods that protect soil health and preserve nutrients from seed to bale. We never use synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or GMOs — only time-tested organic practices that ensure every bale we sell is safe, natural, and nutrient-rich.

Whether you feed high-performance horses, sensitive animals with respiratory concerns, or livestock that thrive on steady, moderate nutrition, Hidalgo Farms’ Timothy hay offers a dependable, clean, and dust-free forage option.

Why Choose Timothy Hay

Timothy hay is known for its fine texture, soft leaves, and pleasant aroma that animals find highly palatable. It contains the ideal balance of protein, fiber, and energy for horses, rabbits, goats, and a wide variety of livestock. Unlike alfalfa, Timothy hay is lower in protein and calcium, making it perfect for animals requiring a maintenance or weight-control diet.

For equine owners, Timothy hay helps promote digestive regularity and healthy teeth while minimizing the risk of overfeeding protein or calories. For small animals like rabbits and guinea pigs, it provides the long-strand fiber essential for proper digestion and dental wear. Livestock producers appreciate its clean handling and steady nutrient composition, especially when maintaining herd health through variable seasons.

When you choose Hidalgo Farms’ organic Timothy hay, you’re selecting a forage that supports animal well-being, consistent nutrition, and sustainable agriculture across New Mexico.

Our Organic Growing Process

The process behind every bale of Timothy hay at Hidalgo Farms begins with a commitment to quality and sustainability. We plant non-GMO, organic-certified Timothy seed in fertile Rio Grande Valley soil enriched with composted nutrients and rotated with alfalfa and cover crops to enhance soil vitality.

Irrigation is carefully managed to prevent stress and preserve the delicate leaf structure that makes Timothy hay soft and digestible. When harvest time arrives, we cut at early bloom to ensure optimal nutrient density, then cure the hay naturally under sunlight. Each bale is carefully tested for moisture before storage to prevent mold and dust formation.

Our organic certification guarantees that every bale you purchase has been produced under USDA-approved organic standards — no synthetic fertilizers, no chemical residues, and complete transparency from field to feed room.

Nutritional Profile and Benefits

Timothy hay offers a moderate nutritional composition ideal for horses and livestock requiring steady energy without excess protein or starch. Average analysis for our organic Timothy hay includes:

  • Crude Protein: 8–12%

  • Crude Fiber: 30–35%

  • Moisture Content: 10–12%

  • Relative Feed Value (RFV): 90–100 (varies by cutting)

This nutrient balance makes Timothy hay an excellent choice for:

  • Horses in light or moderate work who need fiber-rich forage without added calories

  • Horses with metabolic sensitivities or laminitis requiring low non-structural carbohydrates

  • Goats, sheep, and cattle maintained on pasture rotations

  • Small animals such as rabbits, guinea pigs, and chinchillas for daily feeding

Each bale from Hidalgo Farms is leafy, soft, and aromatic — encouraging steady intake and minimizing waste. The hay’s gentle texture and dust-free condition make it safe for animals with respiratory sensitivities or allergies.

Timothy Hay vs. Alfalfa Hay

Many of our customers ask how Timothy hay compares to alfalfa hay. While both are excellent feed sources, their nutritional roles differ:

Cow resting in a grassy field in front of a house, sunny day.

Protein and Energy: Alfalfa hay contains higher protein (15–20%) and calcium, ideal for growth, milk production, or performance animals. Timothy hay offers moderate protein and lower energy for easy keepers or resting animals.

Goats eating hay from a feeder. Brown and black goats in a barn setting.

Fiber: Timothy hay provides higher fiber, supporting digestive health and consistent gut function.

Spotted black and white rabbit grazing on hay.

Palatability: Both are highly palatable, but Timothy hay’s fine stems and soft leaves make it ideal for horses prone to picky eating.

Flock of sheep gathered near a wooden structure as the sun sets over mountains; a person stands nearby.

Feeding Balance: Many owners feed a blend of Timothy and alfalfa hay to balance nutrition while controlling energy intake.

At Hidalgo Farms, we can help you determine the right mix based on your animals’ needs, ensuring your feeding program remains efficient and balanced throughout the year.

Handling, Storage, and Delivery

Our Timothy hay is available in small square bales, tightly bound and easy to handle. Each bale weighs between 55–65 pounds and breaks cleanly into uniform flakes for accurate feeding.

To maintain freshness, we store hay in dry, ventilated barns protected from sunlight and moisture. We advise all customers to store their bales on pallets, with airflow between stacks, to preserve quality through the season.

Hidalgo Farms offers both on-farm pickup and delivery throughout New Mexico. For wholesale buyers or larger ranch operations, we organize truckloads and bulk shipments with careful handling to ensure hay arrives in perfect condition. Repeat customers often reserve their Timothy hay in advance to guarantee steady supply through the winter months.

Commitment to Animal Health and Clean Feed

Clean hay is vital for animal health, which is why every bale we sell undergoes strict inspection. We check each load for moisture, leaf retention, and aroma before it leaves the barn. If a bale doesn’t meet our standards, it doesn’t leave the farm — it’s that simple.

This commitment to purity is part of why trainers, boarding facilities, and feed store owners throughout New Mexico trust Hidalgo Farms as their Timothy hay supplier. Our hay’s consistent softness, low dust, and clean flakes make it a reliable feed choice year-round.
