[QUOTE="Engler, post: 446342, member: 4110"] Corn stalks are OK feed. If you've got dry cows that are say 2nd trimester and the temp outside isn't too bad they'll do ok on them. I think the protien is around 8%, but I'm shooting from the hip and nut. class was a few too many years ago, so if I'm way off base sorry. What many of my feedlot customers do is grind 1 hay then 1 or 2 stalk bales into a pile, but that's another processing step. Otherwise you could put out 1 good bale and 1 stalk bale in the rings/feeder and make them clean it up. If you do this the cows will hit the good hay right away and leave the stalks, well they will be mad as a hornet but make them clean up the stalks before you add more hay. Value is a guessing game. It takes $10+/- to make the bale plus some for the accutal product so I'd say $20-35 depending on any number of factors. If this don't work for hay it makes great bedding. [/QUOTE]
