A few weeks ago I attended a livestock show that was dedicated to the most popular breed of milk cows here in Venezuela, the Carora.
While trying to sell some of my bermuda bales, I struck up a conversation with one ranch owner who was actually interested in buying silage. As he described it, he was interested in buying silage in relatively small plastic bags.....bags of, say, about 40 kilos each.
I have seen a relatively inexpensive machine here that packs silage in tough plastic bags of that size, but as I understand it, that is packing the original raw material in those bags and letting it ferment.
My question is this. If I have an inground silo with fermenting material, can I remove that material, pack it in these smaller bags, transport it a day or so, and have it maintain its nutritional integrity, palatability, and other characteristics until served to his cattle............
Thanks in advance for your replies.
