I think that depends on how rich you want to hay to be. The first cutting is often light green with grain heads and is richer than latter yellow cuttings. Our horses usually gobbled it up. Maybe you got really green oat hay before the grain heads came in? You should still see some seed heads in the yellow oat hay, otherwise you are just paying for straw. Cherie
