[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 1238410, member: 6897"] Fenceman I had a dairy client who had a friend give him about 400 acres of milo stalks free if he would bale them. This is 7-8 years ago. Before he could do anything he got rain on it and quite a bit of regrowth/ Finally got it cut and rolled and had me pull samples on it. First samples tested 12.9% crude protein. He laughed and said the lab must have got his sample mixed up with someone elses so I went and probed about another dozen bales, mixed it good and sent it off. It came back 13.2% crude protein....he immediately started feeding it in his TMR and both milk and butterfat went up considerably as his grass hay was only about 8% protein. He had about a thousand or more rolls so we totally rebalanced his ration to take advantage of the maize stalk protein and lowered his feed cost quite a bit . [/QUOTE]
