[QUOTE="redcowsrule33, post: 642196, member: 8629"] We dry baled our oat hay one year that was a nurse crop. Cut it a little late, past boot stage, but it tested out ~11% protein. Cows did fine on it, used it during the winter after weaning. One thing we did notice is the fiber was so high the patties wouldn't break up, more like mulch. Had to maually break them up. If you samll sqaure baled some good and dry you might find a good market for it with horses - the ones that keep too easy do better on that stuff. [/QUOTE]
