[QUOTE="WalkerRanch 3-2, post: 1707708, member: 38690"] [URL="http://Www.lawnstarter.com"]Www.lawnstarter.com[/URL] has some additional info on feeding clippings. Do not feed them to horses and this was written for cattle: “Cattle, on the other hand, can safely consume fresh grass clippings as long as they do so within 8 hours of mowing. This is when fermentation and decomposition begin. During fermentation, cattle tend to avoid them, but once the clippings have gone through [URL='http://corn.agronomy.wisc.edu/Silage/S005.aspx']ensiling[/URL] — where sugars are fermented into organic acids — the resulting silage can be consumed. In a fairly [URL='https://www.turfmagazine.com/services/turn-clippings-into-cattle-feed/']new venture[/URL], a Wyoming based landscape company has developed a landscape waste compactor that converts lawn clippings into cattle-safe silage in about 28-days.
