[QUOTE="James T, post: 1168453, member: 17369"] I would look at the poop test as a verification of good hay test results. Let's say you go out and spend a few hundred to thousands of dollars on hay without knowing anything about it, deciding to rely on the poop test. If your poop tests indicate not enough protein, it's not like you can take all that hay back to the seller and get a refund. Your stuck with it. Same goes with using the poop test on evaluating your live pasture grasses. Why not do a soil test instead, make the soil amendments and then test the grass to see if the amendments did the trick? Spending $20 on a hay or grass test is a lot cheaper than getting stuck with lousy hay or lousy live grass, which brings up another point. It never ceases to amaze how many people assume that because they have green grass then it must have high nutritional value. [/QUOTE]
