JR, go ahead and say what you want to Peeler. I've meet him, and I'm purdy sure that ol gap tooth could take him. And I know you could take ol' gap tooth.
What do you WANT your ash to be? If it is under 8% it is very good. Under 12% is ok, but over 12% and that is not so good. IMHO, really ash is not that big a deal. The bigger number I look at is heat damage proteon. But hey, I'm an underemployed dairy farmer in the backwoods of a state that doesn't matter in dairy production. (that being MN for you 4x4x44 guys)

jr : nutritionist said 10% is about avg. for samples he has seen or tested for 2011 haylage.
Hey bent : Just checked with the Doc , He said if you can get your head out of your ash pdq , you will live to talk about it!! Have a good one!! John

I like the ash content below 7 just means you aren't getting a lot of dead stuff in there and to much of that dust/dirt stuff. I just thought it was funny that this year the ash content was higher than the last couple. Yea it doesn't really mean anything at the levels I have but it is a benchmark so I just thought I would see what others were seeing.
Apparently all SES looks at is ash! LOL
