[QUOTE="robertwhite, post: 799636, member: 15043"] While I understand the above, I would beg to differ a bit. My cows droppings are quite firm with the last patty being sometimes solid, sometimes a bit loose. Where I would question is the fact that you say all solid is an indication of too much fiber and not enough protein. The hay they are on has serecia in it which has high protein, and they get grained every night with a 14% protein pellet. Each getting approx. 1/2 gallon of pellets. I would imagine, between any residual field grass they are grazing on, plus the hay, plus the grain, they are getting enough protein. I of course am not an expert, and this is just a guess. I am also getting a core sample taken in the next few days or so to tell me exactly what the protein in the hay is. Thank you for the advice. [/QUOTE]
