Where I worked in Australia fed a lot of barley hay. Think it was cut with a swather at the milky stage, wilted in the swath and then baled.
Cows went mad for it, not sure how it analysed but it was fed at grass. So presumably was included for the fibre mainly.

or perhaps a late sown winter barley that didn't vernalise

new name invented could be 'dried whole crop'

come to think of it what does' hay' actually mean...

I bought some the other year. I just assumed it was a poor crop with weed in it that wasn't worth leaving and combining. I just fed it to the cows, they ate it up OK. I was lucky I didn't seem to get rats through it.
