[QUOTE="Silver, post: 1840635, member: 12520"] I found this interesting table for estimating bale density / DM. I have always struggled to compare baleage bales to dry hay. If I figure my bales on the second highest density rating I’m feeding my cows 27 lbs of dry matter per day. And about 5 lbs of that is ripgut. And since it warmed up they are cleaning it up as well as they had been. I might try dropping them to an estimated 22lbs DM one day then 27 the next for a few days.
