[QUOTE="dun, post: 333314, member: 34"] An exerpt from a long report This guidesheet estimates that for one cow consuming 30 lbs (as fed) fescue hay for a 100 day period, there would be 23 lbs Nitrogen, 23 lbs Phosphorus, and 67 lbs of Potash deposited back to the pasture. Some quick math shows that if fertilizer is $250 per ton, you’re getting a fertilizer credit of about $14 per cow, or $7 per bale (1500 lb bale) just from the fertilizer value of the manure from the cows consuming the hay. Additionally, this guidesheet outlines the steps for you to quantify the manure values from any given hay or supplement based on nutrient content. [/QUOTE]
