   ERGOT WARNING 

​

  Very recently there has been Ergot found in Wheatgrass heads. This is normally found in fields where hail or something has damaged the head, and the Ergot fungus enters in. This can be very harmful to livestock. It can be detected by the appearance of small black spots in the head. If you have pastures or hay fields with Wheatgrass in them, you need to check ASAP.  If you have any doubts, or find it in fields with livestock in them, you should get them moved if at all possible. Contact us with any questions or for more information.

Forage Lab

The lab was purchased in 2012 with from Riverside Premium Labs. To expand the usefulness of the NIR machines and testing capabilities and to better match the needs of the Nutritionists, we worked with Caltest to further develop our testing capabilities. As a result, we can now process a majority of forage samples in house, saving time and expense. The program expansion allow us to provide more detailed and specific results to use for balancing rations, decisions on purchasing, selling, pricing and advertising forages.  In 2018, the lab was updated to better serve our customers.
