I think it's great you were able to get your hay done, especially since you have enough bales to last a long time! It'll make getting their nutrition stuff much easier.in2paintshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15721328264615241612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204283740895921092.post-33632424341697473942012-01-20T16:02:38.475-06:002012-01-20T16:02:38.475-06:00Interesting analysis...We get our bales in such sm...Interesting analysis...We get our bales in such small lots that I'd be paying through the nose to test every lot, ugh.

I'd have to crunch numbers (which I hate worse than drawing) to give you actual figures, but in the meantime run those numbers past the guys on the Cushings/IR list... ;-)Nic Barkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06885459438592023135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204283740895921092.post-75031486127553125212012-01-19T11:10:41.000-06:002012-01-19T11:10:41.000-06:00You won't like this, but you should probably r...You won't like this, but you should probably read it anyway: <a href="http://www.shady-acres.com/susan/alfalfa.shtml" rel="nofollow">Endurance horses and alfalfa</a> The second half of the article concerns the Ca/P ratio.
