I suspect most of the N would be lost. It may be tough to get an accurate anlysis on the manure but you could send some to a lab. Then weigh your spreader and see how far it goes. It looks to me that beef must go higher, how can anyone afford to fertilize pasture and hay ground with these prices? A fertilizer bill could be more than gross revenue on a cow calf operation.
