[QUOTE="Nowland Farms, post: 420420, member: 2797"] According to the website, the Sunbelt Expo uses a factor callled RFQ (Relative Forage Quality) to grade hay. The results are analysed and calculated by the University of Georgia. Here are the results from last years Cool Season Grass Hay competition at the Southeast Region Hay contest at Sunbelt Expo Range of Cool Season Grasses submitted for contest - Crude Protein = 6.4% - 12.1% TDN = 52% - 62% RFQ = 80 - 116 2006 Winners 1st Place Cool Season Grass- Crude Protein - 10.1% TDN - 58% RFQ - 116 2nd Place Cool Season Grass- Crude Protein - 11.4% TDN - 62% RFQ - 108 3rd Place Cool Season Grass- Crude Protein - 10.6% TDN - 60% RFQ - 108 The analyses from my fescue hay as determined by Auburn University. Crude Protein - 11.7% TDN - 58% RFQ - ???? I'm just learning this hay quality stuff so we will see. Here is the url for the results of the top 3 winners in each class from last years Sunbelt Expo Hay contest - [url]http://www.aces.edu/dept/forages/SE_HAY_CONTEST.pdf[/url] And Jo, yes I do plan on making it to the Sunbelt Expo this year, if my heifer calving dates don't interfere. I have been wanting to go for several years but have not been able to work it into my schedule. [/QUOTE]
