What if anything do I need to add to the hay to make the TDN over 50%? This is the best hay I have, I'm happy with the protein level but the TDN level stinks. I just pulled the hay sample off the top of a bale in a feed trailer so the moisture levels are probably a little out of wack. The cows are getting by for now on the hay and 5lbs of corn - wcs every other day. But if we get a run of cold nasty wet weather it looks we could have some problems. I'd like to keep it on the cheap, but don't want it to cost any cows. Thanks
