Forage Quality Classes of High, Medium. <br />Fair and Low. Numeric values of 5, 4, 3 and 2, respectively were assigned to these forage <br />quality classes. Where neither the USDA nor Welch listed a a forage class a value of 1 <br />was assumed. <br />*** The Forage Quality index Value was calculated by adding the forage quality values <br />for all species <br />Page 29 <br />
