[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 1086264, member: 7509"] Yes. Corn variety selection is very important. You need a variety that has good stalk strength and holds its ears until spring. The problem is that stalks like that are probably also not the most palatable. The variety shown in my pics above is definitely not a silage type corn! Although I did hire a neighbor to chop and bag a few acres of the same variety this year for silage. However as I am trying to "finish" the steer calves and put some weight on the retained heifer calves I am not expecting or forcing them to eat much of the middle and lower stalks. I'll add a picture of what this corn on corn looked like as I first opened it in December. This is a very good standing variety.
