[QUOTE="RanchManager, post: 597518, member: 8827"] HI, Not off hand, but even if I did it would be of little use. Your protein and other nutrients of any grass or legumes you are growing is going to be be based on local growing conditions, seasonal weather variations, and soil nutrients/factors. You will find that protein and nutrient levels will fluctuate, sometimes dramatically, on forage taken off the same field year after year. We sell over six thousand tons of hay each year, mostly to dairies. We pretty much sell to the same buyers each year, but you can bet they want to see lab tests each year and the negotiate price is based on those tests. The previous years tests are useless; except they show us the variations I am writing of. A lab test is fairly inexpensive and a web search should help you locate the nearest source. [/QUOTE]
