Dr. Dennis Hancock of UGA has a timely article about dealing with all the moldy hay that has been produced this year during the wet and cool conditions this fall.  Even hay that was dry in the field may have absorbed moisture in the barn and become moldy later.  Horses are the most sensitive to the mold but ruminants may also be adversely affected.  You can read the article at Rome Ethredge’s blog Seminole Crop E News at https://seminolecropnews.wordpress.com/2015/11/24/moldy-hay/.
