As winter closes in and temperatures drop, farmers across Cambridgeshire and the surrounding counties turn their attention to one of the most important parts of winter livestock management: feed and bedding. At DRA Fabb, we’re proud to have supplied high-quality hay for hire from our location in Warboys for decades, providing versatile, clean, and reliable bales for every kind of project that requires it.
Ensuring that cattle, horses, sheep, and other animals stay warm, healthy, and well-fed through the cold months is no small task. It takes good planning, reliable supplies, and the right materials on hand when you need them most. That’s why more and more farmers are turning to hay for hire, a flexible, cost-effective solution that helps bridge the gap between your own stored feed and the fluctuating demands of the winter season.
Increasing Demand for Hay
As the seasons change, hay quickly becomes one of the most valuable commodities on the farm. By December, most grazing land has lost its nutritional value, and stored silage or haylage may begin to run low. Livestock need consistent roughage and fibre, especially in colder weather when their bodies are working harder to stay warm.
At DRA Fabb, we know that every farm is different. Some winters are mild; others hit hard and fast. By offering flexible hay hire options, we make it easy for you to adapt to changing conditions, keeping your livestock fed and comfortable all season long.
Our Services and Experience
When it comes to carrying out baling works and machinery, DRA Fabb offers the finest in baling, chasing, and stacking services. Our fleet of balers comprises 4×4 and 4×3 Hestons, while field clearance is carried out using Heath Super chasers or loaders and trailers. And because we’re based locally in Cambridgeshire, we understand the regional challenges farmers face. Whether it’s wet fields, delayed harvests, or high feed demand, our responsive delivery service ensures your livestock always have what they need, when they need it.
Winter farming can be tough, but with the right preparation, it doesn’t have to be stressful. Reliable access to hay for hire can make all the difference when it comes to maintaining livestock health, managing costs, and ensuring your farm is ready for whatever the British weather brings.
We offer:
- Reliable delivery across Cambridgeshire and the UK

Safety First
When using hay in winter, particularly indoors or around heating and lighting, safety is a top priority. At DRA Fabb, we take care to supply clean, dust-minimised hay that meets strict safety standards.
Here are a few important safety tips to consider when hiring hay this winter:
- Avoid open flames.
- Keep indoor hay displays dry to prevent mould or damp odours.
- Keep bales away from pests, as they’ll be looking to keep warm!
