Steve,

All of the values I used in Range Management Planning generally came 
from the National Academy of Sciences Nutrient Requirements of Beef 
Cattle.  They are hopefully average values that allow one to plan for 
needed supplementation during the year.  The only way to get actual 
values is to take samples and have the forage tested.  Botanical 
composition of the pasture, stage of growth, soil fertility, etc. 
will all influence the nutrient content of the forage.
