Ive thrown stalks in with mine they seem to like it well. Alot of people run there cattle on stalks after the corn harvest no problems. How are you getting along with you're Highlands?

Yes, you can. We have wintered our cows on corn stalks (including a good amount of corn left on the ears following harvest) for the last couple of years and had no problems.
