I clicked on 6 to 9, but that's what we've had tested. Is this native bluestem hay or improved bluestem? Was it fertilized? The question is sort of like "what does a steer weigh" which is why you probably don't get an answer from the University or Extension people.

If you do a google search on "feed composition guide" you'll get links to several studies conducted by some PHD of Texas Tech.

Morrisons lists bluestem hay (Andropogon spp) as 2.5 digestable protein

Even that I don't bale my Bluestem grass anymore in the past we tested at a local Ag Institute and that I recall it was inbetween 6-9%.
