[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 144209"] It does not matter what you are growing - it could be the best or the worst forage in the world - if you do not know what it contains and therefore is providing to your animals you are buying grain and supplements that might / might not be appropriate for your specific plan for your cattle. What matters is the test to find out what you need to either maintain or to grow your animal. You could be feeding straight orchard grass for all it matters. Test it to see what you need to feed in addition to this. Follow your plan for your animals. The feed company will then provide you a customized supplement that will enhance your forage. It may be far less expensive than simply shotgunning for effect. In fact, there may be nothing additional required for your cattle if the forage is of high quality and fits your planned program. It is really not that complicated - what makes it complicated is folks thinking far too deeply about minutiae versus planning what they really want to do with their cattle. I will be away on business for the next week - so if you have any further questions or comments do not be in a rush for an answer. :lol: Regards Bez [/QUOTE]
