[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1096847, member: 14585"] The first 3 things I look at when buying tested baled hay 1. dry matter [or % moisture, too wet = probable mold] 2. protein 3. NDF the higher the NDF the less cows like it, over 65 NDF and most cows will not eat it unless forced. Oat Straw 4% protein 90% dm 48 adf 72 ndf 48 tdn The hay tested has the nutrient value of oat straw, but at least the cows will eat it a bit better. average mixed grass hay 9.5% protein 87 dm 39 adf 58 ndf 50 tdn [/QUOTE]
