Re: [RC] "Feeding the Hoof"- Just Curious - Elizabeth Walker
It is going to depend on your situation. Not everyone has their own place, so for those of us that board, testing the hay isn't necessarily an option. In my case, the barn owner buys from a supplier who in turn buys from several growers --- what gets delivered isn't necessarily from one source, even within the same load. At least, that was the explanation I got. Not much point in testing that.

It is not at all hard to put this info into practice. We buy anywhere from 4 to 8 tons of timothy at a time. We have a gorer and send the samples to EquiAnalytical for analysis. Cost is $40 not counting postage.
