Hay Quality Designation: Physical Description
Supreme: Very early maturity, pre-bloom, soft fine-stemmed, extra leafy. Factors indicative of very high nutritive content. Hay is excellent color and free of damage.
Premium: Early maturity, i.e., pre-bloom in legumes and pre-head in grass hays, extra leafy and fine-stemmed – factors indicative of a high nutritive content. Hay is green and free of damage.
Good: Early to average maturity, i.e., early-to-mind-bloom in legumes and early head in grass hays, leafy, fine to medium stemmed, free of damage other than slight discoloration.
Fair: Late maturity, i.e mid-to-late-bloom in legumes, head-in grass hays, moderate or below leaf content, and generally coarse-stemmed. Hay may show light damage.
Utility: Hay in very late maturity, such as a mature seed pods in legumes or mature head in grass hays, course-stemmed. This category could include hay discounted due to excessive damage and heavy weed content or mold. Defects will be identified in market reports when using this category.
