[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 1425309, member: 6897"] It's all nothing but grass when until it's cut so weight would be the same.....when baled one is dry and one is wet so you'll get more tonnage from the baleage although much of it is water. You'll get just as much dry matter from hay off the same ground. Folks down here that put up baleage use specialized equipment designed for it, it requires more equipment, is more labor intensive and much more liable to be worthless if the wrapper is develops holes that allows oxygen into the bale. I've put up grass silage before in a bunker silo. Worked for dairy cattle but would only go the dry hay route for a beef cow operation. [/QUOTE]
