[QUOTE="hayray, post: 276680, member: 3046"] Ok, I gotta' do a trump disagree on your disagree. I have been testing my hay now for the last two years and all as I can say is "wow" what an educaiton. I stood at the hay auction yesterday next to some old timers that had been buying and selling hay their whole lives and based on some of their comments they were way off on the presumptions of hay quality. You should try testing your hay and see for yourself. I have argued with vets and made them admit that they were wrong when talking about hay qualtiy (which I don't know why a vet thinks they are an expert nutritionist anyways) based on my testing. If you are balancing rations based on protein and energy of different hays you can really save money and not over feed and have optimal weaning weights and body scores on your cattle but you can't do that really accurate unless you are testing. Modern agriculture is forcing everybody to be more efficient because there is not a lot of room on that bottom line. Plus, a lot of my competitors that sell hay now are advertising that it is lab tested. Now remember - msscamp - this is just a friendly debate. Ray [/QUOTE]
