[QUOTE="Fire Sweep Ranch, post: 1215381, member: 18809"] I think people are saying they prefer fertilized hay. Some will not feed hay that has not been fertilized. I think all people know that when we add nitrogen to grass, and mix some rain in, it grows like crazy! Look at our lawns, for those that have a lawn. It grows like crazy when we put down a little fertilizer, and makes it greener. We always use fertilizer, since we are pushing too many cows on our small acreage. We are able to graze and get a cutting, the hard part is figuring out the exact time to put it on the ground, using the weather as your key indicator! No rain - waste of money; too much rain - your neighbor benefits from your fields draining the N before it soaked into the ground! :nod: On a side note; When I ran the pig buildings at Cal Poly University, I had to dump my sludge each cycle of a building (about every 90 days). The horse facility would beg for it, knowing that a good week after spraying that liquid manure on the pasture they would not be able to find the horses in the grass! :lol2: Who cares if it smelled a little for a few days, it was worth the grass it produced!
