[QUOTE="IL Rancher, post: 456914, member: 4097"] We put up about 1100 5X6 bales of stalks this year.. Would have done more but the tractor died before we were done. We had enough.. Folks around here feed it all the time. Last year our cow diet was mostly stalks and WDGS. WE were protein rich when it was all balanced out but it was the cheapest option we had.. This year we got about 1000 tons of Sweet corn silage brought in to go along with the stalks and some WDGS to keep the protein up.. The thing with stalks is, if you grind it you will get more uniform consumption. the stalks themselves are the last thing the cow is going to eat, she will eat the husks and leaves that are in there and if the stalks were shattered and cut enough by the mower than they will eat some of it. Last year to stretch the bunck space the distillers took up we mixed 600 pounds of stalks with 6000 pounds of distillers and than free choiced a few tons of stalks.. The cows were in real good shape come spring. [/QUOTE]
