[QUOTE="Mark Reynolds, post: 1835135, member: 43196"] Looking back through the posts, I had replied to the thread previously. What I did in response to your post on the 28 was respond to "We seem to have a problem with the stockpile" and I didn't look back at the prior posts. Had I done that, I wouldn't have put you in Wyoming and I would have seen it was tall fescue, which doesn't grow in Wyoming. Best I can say is my mind was elsewhere. As for looking at the forage analysis for your fescue in 2014, I'm impressed. 21% protein is great for that time of year. You mentioned you stockpile every year and test it as well. I think, if I recall correctly, and it might have been someone else, we had a discussion about protein content in stockpiled fescue some time back discussing how well it kept throughout the winter with only a 1-2% decrease per month starting in about November leaving the Tall fescue with more than adequate protein levels through February (above 8%) with protein supplement only needed when levels dropped below this. I don't recall for certain if we were discussing fescue specifically or protein supplementation with me likely stating something to the effect protein supplementation was rarely needed east of the Mississippi except for maybe on occasion in the south east.
