Quality lucerne, oaten and teff hay. Chaff and straw. Delivery of hay We sell good quality fresh lucerne, oaten and teff hay We also stock premium lucerne, blended and oaten chaff Lucerne Hay Lucerne hay has a high protein content, is rich in vitamins and minerals and aids digestion by helping to prevent constipation and other digestive issues Lucerne can be helpful for underweight animals or to help maintain their weight It is a palatable hay with a rich taste and smells great Suitable for horses, sheep, goats, alpacas, rabbits, cattle Oaten Hay Available in small bags and large bales. Small bags prevent the mess a bale can create and are easier to handle if travelling to an event Oaten hay on average is 31% fibre, 10% protein and 0.4% calcium This hay has thicker stalks than other types of hay and is often rejected by horses Smaller animals like the flavour and the crunchiness of the seed husks Oaten hay is especially good for overweight or picky rabbits Feed to Guinea Pigs in moderation Teff Hay This hay is lower in sugar than most grass hays making it ideal for horses that need low sugar hay It is a premium hay alternative for livestock including dairy beef, sheep and horses Teff is high in calcium as well as phosphorus, iron, copper, aluminium, barium and thiamine Quality protein is a bit low, ranging from 12 to 17% Straw Straw is a multi-purpose product, not only as forage for cattle, it also makes good mulch in the garden which helps to reduce erosion and improve soil over time. As it breaks down, the material decomposes and releases nutrients to nourish your plants NOTE Lice and other pests can hide in the stem of the straw and for this reason we do not recommend using straw for animal bedding especially chickens Laymour has many customers wanting straw for use as seating and to give a country style aesthetic to their functions such as outdoor garden weddings and birthday parties Premium Lucerne Chaff Premium quality lucerne chaff, steam cut and triple sieved for minimum dust, packed in recyclable fully sealed bags for maximum freshness Lucerne chaff is cut to a length of approximately 1cm It is a great source of roughage (fibre) 25kg bag Premium Oaten Chaff Premium quality oaten chaff, steam cut and triple sieved for minimum dust, packed in recyclable fully sealed bags for maximum freshness Oaten chaff is cut to a length of approximately 1cm It is a great source of roughage (fibre) 22.5kg bag Premium Blended Chaff Premium quality mixed chaff with a 50/50 blend of lucerne and oaten chaff Steam cut and triple sieved for minimum dust, packed in recyclable fully sealed bags for maximum freshness Convenient for those who like to use a blended feed as the different chaffs have already been mixed together It's a great source of roughage (fibre) 25kg bag

Fresh eggs in your own backyard Laymour's Backyard Hy-Line Brown Pullets Fresh eggs in your own backyard 1/7 Home of Laymour Circa 1967 472 Windsor Road VINEYARD Pat & Alex with their winning galloper "Sprayette" Randwick Racecourse Circa 1978 2004 Hawkesbury Show Alex with Champion Boer Buck and "Norebo Basil" (rear) winner of Buck Kid Over 6 & Under 12 Months Grand Champion Sire Caesar Circa 1961 NSW RAS Kennel Club Awards Circa 1960 Godine 1957. Alex Schembri i njegova supruga Pat preselili su se iz rodnog grada Brooklyna NSW u donjem dijelu rijeke Hawkesbury u Wentworthville kada su bili angažirani kao tim muža i žene da upravljaju farmom peradi i mrijestilištem pilića na adresi 205 Old Prospect Road. Nakon desetljeća kao uspješni upravitelji farme odlučili su da žele voditi vlastitu farmu peradi i kupili su 25 hektara neizgrađenog zemljišta na Windsor Roadu u Vineyardu NSW kako bi započeli svoj novi pothvat. Putujući svakog vikenda iz Wentworthvillea do svog novog posjeda, neumorno su radili na krčenju gustog grmlja i drveća kako bi pripremili svoju novu kuću. Godine 1965. preselili su se u Vineyard sa svoje troje djece kako bi se nastanili u svojoj potpuno novoj zidanoj kući. Ubrzo nakon što su se smjestili, počeli su planirati svoju farmu peradi. Izgrađeno je jedan po jedan 13 velikih peradarnika. Alex i Pat započeli su novu industriju i postali pioniri uzgoja "početnih kokoši" pri čemu su uzgajali jednodnevne kokoši do točke nošenja za velike komercijalne uzgajivače peradi smještene u različitim područjima diljem Novog Južnog Walesa. Dok su aktivno vodili najveću farmu kokoši u Australiji, Alex i Pat su također posjedovali i vodili Pat-A-Lex uzgajivačnice. Dugi niz godina uzgajali su i pokazivali čistokrvne njemačke ovčare i korgije koji proizvode šampionske štence od, da spomenemo samo neke, šampionskih sinova Braecoole Caesar, Patalex Chieftaina i šampionske kuje Diosme Roxanne. Putovali su na mnoge izložbe pasa i dobili stotine nagrada za svoje pse šampione. Alex i Pat postali su poznati i cijenjeni zbog svog kontinuiranog rada u peradarskoj industriji i nakon 25 godina uzgoja započete kokoši, odlučili su svoju farmu peradi u kavezu pretvoriti u farmu jaja na otvorenom. Uklonili su sve kaveze iz svojih šupa i omogućili im da pasu na otvorenom. Ova promjena poslovanja dovela ih je do toga da su ponovno postali pioniri opskrbljujući jajima otvorenog asortimana tržišnu nišu u glavnim trgovinama zdrave hrane diljem velegradskog Sydneya, uključujući trgovine s hranom Davida Jonesa. U želji da prošire svoju vještinu uzgojem životinja, Alex i Pat odlučili su se okušati u uzgoju i utrkama rasnih konja. Koristeći usluge lokalnih trenera Hawkesburyja, sve su njihove kobile proizvele pobjednika ili dva na mnogim galopskim stazama u provinciji Sydney i NSW. Kako bi dodali raznolikost njihovoj menažeriji, Alexu je pozornost privukla burska koza i odlučio se upustiti u industriju mesnih koza. Trgujući kao farma Norebo, Alex i Pat uspješno su uzgajali i izlagali burske koze. Pobijedili su 1999. u Sydneyskom kraljevskom uskršnjem natjecanju "Nastupno natjecanje kopito i udica" i dobili nagradu Grand Champion Boer Goat. Također su osvojili nagradu Champion Buck na Hawkesbury Showu 2004. te brojne nagrade na drugim regionalnim natjecanjima. Sada u 69. godini zajedno, Alex i Pat i dalje su snažni nakon desetljeća teškog rada baveći se svim vrstama uzgoja životinja i poljoprivrednih aktivnosti. Ovih su dana smanjili svoj posao uzgoja peradi i vode prodavaonicu stočne hrane na Laymour Poultry Farmu koja nudi prijateljsku uslugu vlasnicima peradi u dvorištu. Alex se još uvijek voli baviti uzgojem različitih sorti peradi, ima bogato znanje i iznimno je sretan što može pomoći vlasnicima čoka u održavanju zdravlja i nesenju jaja. Alex i Pat imaju troje djece, sedmero unučadi i 13 praunučadi, svi žive u okrugu Hawkesbury. Alex i Patove raznolike poljoprivredne aktivnosti i interesi uvijek rade ruku pod ruku i učinili su ih uspješnim dvojcem kojem se mnogi ljudi vraćaju da kupe kokoši, čoke, hranu, sjeme za ptice i potrepštine, a da ne spominjemo Alexov stručni savjet kad im zatreba. FOOTNOTE Sadly, at the age of 90, Alex was diagnosed with bowel cancer but he battled on and continued working on his farm until three weeks before he succumbed to the horrible disease on 15th June 2020, one week after his 91st birthday. Alex was a young 91 year old, he loved his work and never missed a beat. Alex is sadly missed by his wife Pat, their family, friends and their loyal customers. Alex and Pat's daughter Susan together with her husband Craig, are keeping Laymour's Poultry and Produce Store open for business-as-usual 4 days a week Alex and Pat would have celebrated their Platinum Wedding Anniversary marking 70 years of marriage on 30th January, 2022 "LAYMOUR" JOŠ JE JAKO NAKON 50 GODINA PRODAJU SE KODI STARE I POČETNE PERAD, HRANA I SJEME
