Hi Holly,

*LOL* when I get bills for my horses, I remind myself of all the pleasure they have given me over the years - I would spend my last penny on them and I know you also would.

Re: Hay Testing question
This year our hay supply came from three different farmers. My question is, is it possible/advisable to combine the samples for one test and mineral balance or no?
thanks so much for all you
