They’ll eat it when they are ready for it. Maybe his pastures are starting to green up and they are just not going to the hay as much right now.

One time we were try to raise our rfv on alfalfa for a dairy customer. We put liquid fertilizer on instead of potash for a couple cuttings. When we tissue tested it the sugar content in the leaves were higher on the liquid fields. The rfv was slightly higher too. Could be from a difference in the added organic matter or calcium in the litter could have changed the hay some. I’ve cut hay with litter and commercial fertilizer, and I’ve never noticed a difference from the cows.

Check the soil for fertility I bet there is a difference in the soil another words not saying one is better than the other but pallitability is different on the two plots
