[QUOTE="Dusty Britches, post: 297162, member: 1900"] Ok, I finally got my hay tests back. Lot 1 - 2.9% CP Coastal hay, some weeds, string wrap Lot 2 - 6.7% CP Jiggs, no weeds, string wrap Lot 3 - 14.2% CP Coastal hay, no weeds, net wrap I also planted rye grass over 2/3 of the pasture and clover over 1/3. I'm trying to figure out supplementation stragety. Should I: A. Feed Lot 3 first, then Lot 2, then Lot 1. Supplement liquid protein for Lot 2 and 1 while they graze the rye grass and clover B. Alternate lot 3 and lot 1 to reduce supplements as much as possible. by the time we finish those 2 lots, we will be well into grazing rye grass and clover. C. Feed lot 3 first while the rye grass and clover come up, then lot 1 while grazing rye and clover, then lot2 to finish up the winter D. Feed lot 3 and 2, hope there is enough winter grazing that I don't have to feed lot 1. Not worry about supplements. E. Feed whatever is convenient. F - any other suggestions? Funny - all of the hay looks and smells great. The cows definately prefer lot 3 over lot 1. [/QUOTE]
