[QUOTE="Dave, post: 187648, member: 498"] A potato sack of manure of manure dunked in a drum of water wont test any where near that high in nutrients. The manure itself wont test that high to start with. Dunking it in water dilutes it, it doesn't make it stronger. Liquid manure out of a manure pond or lagoon is a different thing. In those cases the manure is kept in a liquid form because it is easier and cheaper to pump it rather than haul it. It is also generally a slurry much thicker than the potato sack method and as such has more nutrients. I have run hundreds of tests on samples out of dairy manure lagoons. They average somewhere between 12 and 20 pounds of N per 1,000 gallons. And that is manure from dairy cows who are fed considerably better than a few angus cows. You have to put nutrient into the front end of the cow to get nutrient out the back end. Dave [/QUOTE]
