I partnered with an over equipped neighbor and put up a lot of hay this year. I sampled 3 lots of cool season grassy meadow hay from 3 farms that were baled over a 6 week period in early to mid summer. For DM basis:
The CP level ranged from 7.4 to 9.0%.
The RFV ranged from 78 to 82.
The first farm cut did have a little more CP, but the test results did not show much variation. Does this tell me that grassy hay feed value does not change quickly or native grasses have similar feed value or :?:
