Good lord, can't they just say "your hay is great" or "your hay sucks" or something like that that I could understand?!
I even went to their website and still couldn't understand it. I was hoping for a table that said these are the normal ranges or something, but nope. If anyone has any experience or thoughts on what this all means I'd really appreciate hearing it.

Wow! Anyone have any thoughts!! I did this initially because of the trouble I was having with Cappy and wondering since she was really only willing to eat hay if she was getting what she needed. Well, you all know she didn't last long enough for me to find out, but I'd still like to know since this is hay I feed year after year. I feed off the same field and he treats it the same from one year to another - unless he feels something is lacking and he needs to use a different approach.
Thanks in advance for your time!
O M G! I had this all typed out with spaces so it was easy to read and this is what it does!!!
