[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 787383, member: 7509"] I took samples from random hay bales last week and just got the test results back today. I could really use some help understanding the results. [img]http://i877.photobucket.com/albums/ab336/SRBeef/IMG_2233_Hay_Test_Results_2010.jpg?t=1287522003[/img] This hay is mostly for pregnant beef heifers and cows over the winter and retained calves not going to grazing corn. It will also be available to the steers grazing corn prior to processing in April. This will be full ration with no additional supplement other than mineral. In Wisconsin. The 15% protein number looks ok but I am really not experienced at looking at these tests to understand the rest of the numbers. Especially the second to last number. Does that mean that 2% of body weight of this hay per day will provide sufficient nutrition for pregnant heifers and cows over the winter up through calving and to green up around May 1? Thanks in advance for any feedback/suggestions on these numbers. Jim [/QUOTE]
