usually the fertilizer dealers are pretty dependable -- they want to establish a long term relationship with you. As you raise cattle you will need him again -- cows eat grass, grass goes away in the form of animal tissue requiring replenishment of the soil so the grass can keep growing to produce more meat, etc. Soil amendments should be tailored to the use. It takes different nutrients for cattle, tomatoes, artichokes, and cotton.
You may have come across one of those salesmen who thinks short-term or who does one-size-fits-all recommendations. They're in every industry.
