[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 633987, member: 3162"] TB they came out of the Glen Rose area. High mineral content grass. The land there sits on limestone beds so lime leaches out of the hills. The top soil has a lot of nutrients. Soil tests run on land 20 miles north east of there regularly state all that is needed is N. Mineral content is always great but I add boron simply to drive root systems deeper. I have never tested any hay on my inherited property in East Texas. It is simply too far away to warrant trying to run cattle on it or to maintain it. My uncle uses it. Coastal hay tests here are generally in the 14% level sometimes as much as 16%. Much of it has to do with cutting at optimal times. During the '05 drought, a lot of hay was imported to this area. People were very disappointed in the imported hay. There is a lot of merit to what Caustic said. It would take a lot of time for my cows to adjust to his grass. [/QUOTE]
