[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 369773, member: 9"] Makes a lot of sense, Dave! I also think where this "protein %" issue comes into play at its best is when people pay "quality hay prices" for that very low protein, marginal hay stuff. In some cases they think "hay is hay". This is generally true for the roughage issue. If one has great grass in pasture, then roughage hay has much less relevance for protein. What I hate to see is someone's cattle having a BCS of 3 or 4 and they are feeding 5% +/- protein junk hay and either (a) haven't a clue as to why their cattle look so bad, or (b) they are trying to "starve a profit" out of their animals. The same thing happens with horses and other species of "farmed" livestock... [/QUOTE]
