[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 648543, member: 9"] All hay is NOT the same, regardless of variety (obviously). We learned "slightly" the hard way. We were buying local bermuda several years ago...had to spend almost as much on protein tub and cube supplements as we did on hay. Then, we got smart... Went to where the "good" hay was (protein tested, good leaf,etc.). The "local guys" could have cared less about the true quality of their hay... NOW, we only buy from a hay ranch that tests their hay. Then, we re-test each load when it arrives. Been getting excellent hay in 12 to 14% CP and digestibility and NO range cubes, but we still use our protein/mineral tubs. Surprise! Surprise! Even buying our hay out of State now...for LESS than what our locals were gouging us for! Caveat Emptor! [/QUOTE]
