What kind of grass/hay do you have? I'm guessing its fescue and orchardgrass and clover like I do, unless I'm mistaken.
Cool season grasses just get better as it gets colder up to a point. So up here, your fescue baled in the fall should be more nutritious cause it will be mostly blades, unless you bale it in the spring in the boot stage which nobody rarely does. One reason most people don't is because it is rarely hay weather the 1st of May....too damp too cool.
These fine people down south are baling mostly warm season grasses like Bermuda, bahai, etc. A horse of a different color in some ways.
Yes, similar to your hay fields.
Testing is something I need to start doing to the hay we buy off the farm.
