Oxbow Meadow Hay

[kailaeve1271]

I recently purchased Oxbow meadow hay, along with a large bag of Oxbow orchard grass. The orchard grass was poor quality due to dusty strands. This, however, I can handle. It does happen. The meadow hay on the other hand looked good from the front. Then I opened it and 1. It had several crushed bugs in it and 2. Nearly all of it was a dead brown. Has anyone else had a similar problem? This does seem like the Oxbow I'm used to

Any supplier can have bad bags of hay. It's a totally mechanized process to harvest it and package it, and there's no human intervention involved unless they're advertising such a thing. I'd complain about the brown but not the bugs. Take a picture of it and send it to them.

It does say that it is "hand selected" on the bag but these days that could mean anything. I will make a complaint about it. Thank you!
