I would have checked my hay. I keep 1300 pound cows all winter long on not a lot of hay and never have a problem.

Here's something I've wondered about that: Say you get the test done and it comes back that your hay is not adequate. What do you do then, if you have tons and tons and tons of it stored? Sell it all and buy better hay? That would be a lot of work and cost involved and I would think the work and cost would eat up the benefit of the better hay. That's one reason I'm not planning to make my own hay any time soon for my small operation, I figure I can raise corn and soybeans on the ground and buy hay, which then means I have less equipment to pay taxes on and maintain. And if I see hay that I don't think is nutritionally not good enough, I'm not stuck with it like I would be if I raised it. I understand that if I was running several hundred cattle instead of the few I'm running that may change the situation quite a bit. | |
