The Art of Timing... Harvesting Hay at Its Peak
Cutting hay at the optimal time is a critical factor in ensuring its nutritional value and quality. If harvested too early, the hay may be immature and lack sufficient nutrients. Conversely, if cut too late, it may become overripe and lose its nutritional value due to excessive fiber and decreased digestibility.
The ideal timing for cutting hay varies depending on factors such as the type of grass, weather conditions, and intended use of the hay. Generally, the goal is to harvest the hay when it is at its "boot stage," which is when the seed heads are just beginning to emerge from the uppermost leaves. This stage typically occurs when the grass is about 12 to 18 inches tall. Cutting at this time maximizes the balance of carbohydrates, protein, and fiber, resulting in hay that is highly nutritious and palatable for livestock.
Benefits We Provide
Buku Hay offers a variety of benefits for both livestock owners and farmers. Our high-quality hay is carefully harvested and stored to ensure optimal nutritional content and digestibility. By feeding Buku Hay to your animals, you can promote their overall health, growth, and productivity. Additionally, our hay can be used as bedding for livestock, providing a clean and comfortable environment. With Buku Hay, you can rest assured that your animals are receiving the best possible nutrition and care.
East Texas hay season runs from late spring through fall. Buku Hay cuts Coastal Bermuda at peak sugar content, typically late April through October depending on rainfall.

No chemical spray matters most for horses. Herbicide residue can cause colic and digestive problems in horses with sensitivities. Buku Hay controls weeds by mowing rather than spraying, a practice used on this Cherokee County land since the 1960s. That makes the hay a good fit for easy keepers, metabolic horses, and operations that prefer to avoid chemical exposure.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do You Fertilize Your Hay?
Yes, chicken manure.
What kind of hay do you grow?
Coastal Bermuda for horses. A mixed coastal, red and white clover as well as some Virginia clover for spring cuttings and native Bermuda mix for cows, goats etc.
Is you hay weed free and do you spray for weeds?
Our hay is almost weed free but you may find a stray here and there. At Buku hay, we prefer natural means like keeping the hay clipped to promote weed free bales rather than spraying harmful chemicals on our grasses that will eventually transform into human food.
What makes your hay any better than the guy down the road?
It really depends on that guys processes and product! We know to what extent we go to to grow and process the best grass hay that we can, we hope that "guy" is as well.
Where does Buku hay get its hay?
We are a small family owned farm in East Texas that has farmed and ranched this land since the 1960's. We grow, cut, rake, bale and store our own hay with our own equipment which we own. We just recently started marketing our hay to select customers and now branching out with our Buku Hay website.
In your opinion, is standard grass hay for cows and only Coastal hay should be sold as horse hay?
Absolutely not true. Horses do just fine and even thrive on our standard grass hay. I'm sure there are substandard grasses out there with less nutrients, but the bigger issue is the soil it's grown in more than the type of grasses. We've experimented for 6 years with horses and cattle in one pasture given nothing but the hay on the ground, spring, summer and winter. No minerals, no feed, no mess, just clean water and what they foraged. Healthy foals were born, healthy calves were born, grew, became adult. Horses and cattle were fat, shiny coats, happy and healthy.
