[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 424202, member: 4362"] I think it can be agreed that without a hay test you really don't know what the food value of the hay is. If you are purchasing high priced hay, testing it is a good way to insure you are getting your monies worth. I think the tests run about $15. However, if you would rather buy a case of beer with that money, you can use the following method approved by the Georgia Redneck Cattleman's Association. The method is simple, and involves three easy steps. First, randomly chose a bale then pull a small sample from the core. [img]http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m114/jogeephus/Hay008.jpg[/img] Once done, you should put it in an appropriate container or plastic bag capable of holding water. [img]http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m114/jogeephus/Hay009.jpg[/img] Next, fill container with water. Once filled, pop the top on a can and light up a cigarette keeping in mind that you have 23 more in the back of your truck. ;-) Once the beer is finished, pull the sample from the container and inspect. [img]http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m114/jogeephus/Hay010.jpg[/img] If the grass has turned to a greenish color like above, you are looking at something worthy of consideration. If not, thump your cigarette butt over in the hay storage area and drive off cause the hay ain't worth the money. :lol: [/QUOTE]
