[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 478329, member: 6897"] Ohio it's pretty easy to make yourself a hay probe. Buy a 24" length of 3/4" stainless steel. You can either grind one end down to where the edge is sharp all around the hole or just have it cut at a 45 degree angle. Put a leather glove on your hand and you can shove it deeply into a role of anykind of hay. Pull it out and use a dowel stick to punch the sample out of the pipe and into your sample bag. Get a good representative sample from several different rolls of the hay. One of the best labs I've use to test my hay is Dairy One in New York. They give a very detailed report and you can request specific things be tested as well. They do both NIR and wet chemistry test. [/QUOTE]
