Supply network

How we work: a network, not a single field.

Pukk Hay is a merchant, not a grower. We’ve built a network of trusted UK growers and feed mills so we can pick the right loads, check them properly, store them well and get them to you, all year round.

1 · The network

Trusted growers and mills across the country.

Rather than being tied to whatever comes off one patch of ground, we work with a spread of established growers and feed mills up and down the UK. Different regions, different cuts, different specialities, which means we can match you to the right forage or feed instead of the only forage we’ve got.

We build proper relationships with our suppliers. We know how they make their hay, how they store it, and whether they’re the sort we want to put our name behind.

Our network reaches overseas, too: we import premium timothy and alfalfa hay from Canada and the USA, where the dry climate produces exceptionally clean, consistent forage that performance yards ask for by name.

2 · The selection

We choose the loads, and check them.

Not every bale is created equal, so we don’t buy blind. Loads are selected on colour, smell, leafiness and how they’ve been made and kept, then quality‑checked again before they head out to you.

If a load isn’t right, it doesn’t become your problem. The whole point of buying through a merchant is that someone’s already done the sorting.

3 · The storage

Kept dry, kept clean, kept right.

Good hay can be ruined by bad storage. We keep stock under cover and off the ground, with air around it, so what leaves us is in the same condition as when we approved it, not damp, dusty or heating in a stack.

Proper storage is also what lets us hold supply through the year, so you’re not scrambling when a wet summer squeezes the market.

4 · The delivery

To your yard across the North West and beyond.

Once it’s picked and checked, we get it to you: by the bale, the pallet or the full load. Prompt delivery across Greater Manchester and the North West, and nationwide when you need it.

Ring us, tell us what you’re after, and we’ll sort the logistics. That’s the job.

Why buy from a merchant

Steady supply beats one lucky harvest.

Never left short

Not tied to one field or one cut: a supply that keeps going when the weather doesn’t play ball.

Right load, not the only load

A network means we match you to what suits your animals, not just what we happen to have.

Sorting done for you

We’ve already checked the quality, so you avoid the poor stuff without the legwork.

One friendly point of contact

Forage, straw, bedding and feed, all from the same team you actually get to know.
