stage Cut H then regardless of
maturity of companion grass
Alfalfa-grass mixtuies cut at
this time contain about 65 per
cent TDN and 20 per cent crude
protein. If cut when alfalfa is at
half bloom stage, the TDN is
only 50-52 per cent; piotein is
only 12 per cent That's close to
a 20 per cent loss in TDN and a
40 per cent protein loss
Wheaton says grasses follow
the same decreasing value with
lespect to matuuty Fescue and
orchardgrass are examples Their
crude protein content will often
be as low as six per cent after
blooming when seeds aie begin
ning to form
Overall losses due to late hay
making can reacn staggering pro
portions Three sources can con
tubute to the loss of half the
potential feed value of hay,
