I thought 404 was very high, but will this hurt anything? If so what can I do.

How much phosphorus is too much? My soil tests came back an one pasture had 404 lbs./Acre. Is this bad if so what can I do? The other fields were 121 lbs./A 171 lbs./A 159 lbs./A 227 lbs./A The pH on all tests were between 5.6 And 5.8. Mostly fescue and mixed grass pastures.
