[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 369614, member: 9"] I've been doing some thinking and math things...Will appreciate any comments on the "logic" of what I'm addressing... First: I'll set the stage of "constants": 1000# Round Bale of "anything". 10% Protein Content of the bale. $100. for this bale. Assumption: [u]All the hay is the "same" quality.[/u] (Just using powers of "ten" for simplicity). Now... [b]1000# Round Bale = 10% Protein = $100. Cost[/b] [i]Therefore, "Relative Value/Cost of":[/i] 2000# Round Bale = 10% Protein = $ 200. Cost 500# Round Bale = 10% Protein = $50. Cost [i]Therefore:[/i] 1000# Round Bale = 20% Protein = $50. Cost 1000# Round Bale = 5% Protein = $200. Cost Does this analysis make sense to y'all? If so, and if my assumptions are correct, then when buying hay, it would be very important to look at the protein analysis of the hay to arrive at the "actual" cost of that bale one is buying. Then, IF a $100 bale of quality hay is compared with a lesser quality/protein content hay, then the POORER quality hay is in reality MORE expensive to buy and feed than the quality hay is. Opinions, discussion y'all??? [/QUOTE]
