[QUOTE="Susie David, post: 278682, member: 1744"] Testing is as good as the samples tested....need a honest sample mix representative of the entire field not just the patches of the best looking cut. Poor hay is pretty easy to identify and good hay stands out and I'm no expert in grading alfalfa but the mamas sure let me know. They sort out the stems in the lesser quality hay and eat all stems and all of the better quality stuff...the production steers easily clean up the leavings that the o'l gals pick over. Knowing the field helps....we constantally get 16+% alfalfa from our supplier's fields so have learned to stick with his hay...always save the better stuff for the third trimester and post calving. Just my two bits worth. Dave Mc [/QUOTE]
