[QUOTE="Bez!, post: 203927, member: 2830"] Depends on what is in the ground - that is why it is important to TEST your forages. I have numbers from year to year that vary as much a 4 - 5 %. That in itself indicates "estimating" is not worth the chatter it produces - in my opinion. It costs next to nothing and if you buy your suplements from the outfit thast does the testing, generally the testing is free. It is at this operation. Takes next to no time - other than perhaps two or three phone calls to make all the arrangements - which may be long distance - but basically cost about 30 cents each. Give your local feed mill a shout and ask them for the name of their feed nutritionist - call him/her and have them out for coffee. They are smart - they are interesting and usually they truly do want to make sure you get the best bang for your buck. If they do not have one - keep looking - they are out there and they are a resource that does make a difference. Bez! [/QUOTE]
