For years I fed my horses the available hay without issues. I judged nutritional quality by appearance and smell. Then my luck ran out and I ended up with a couple who had metabolic issues. They were overweight and mysteriously footsore even with my old tried-and-true management regimen.The missing piece to that puzzle was knowing exactly what was in the hay I was feeding them. Sending hay off or analysis is inexpensive, but without a corer like this one, gathering the sample to do so is a pain. Think pulling random wads from different bales and snipping it up into small pieces with scissors (RIP scissors.)Anyway, this corer let me quickly get samples from multiple bales so I could combine them for the most accurate test result. Using these results I could better tailor the supplements I was feeding to help get a handle on my horses' issues.Not a tool that's used very often, but definitely an important addition to my tack room.

Good product, helps with gathering hay samples for testing without needing to cut bales. Gathering samples used to make a huge mess this helps prevent the mess.

This hay probe works really well. I can core the full bale for testing with minimal issue. I do wish it came with some sort of carrying case and maybe more clear instructions for anyone who has not used one before but its sharp enough to work well on teff and bermuda hay. I have not been able to test it yet with our alfalfa.

This is my first hay probe. I’ve been wanting one for a while so I don’t have anything to compare it to, but it’s well-made out of sturdy material and does the job well what more could I want?

I don't have a horse or hay around the yard. But I do have a old-fashioned compost pile (i.e.; a pile on the ground). Turning it, getting air into it's core is essential to get the right amount of activity inside to break things down.This solid piece of stainless steel works pretty good for getting into the center of the pile since the drill does most of the work. The contents do get compacted inside the tube if you push too hard, making it hard to pop out what's in there. That's a PITA but manageable.

We recently brought our horse home from a boarding farm. Now she's on new hay. We've had hay tested before and I'm glad we did.We used this hay sampler to pull samples from our square bales for testing. No results yet, but pulling the samples was easy. I'll pull samples as we change suppliers to assure quality.A great and handy tool.
