[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 1196355, member: 6897"] Feeding in the form of silage will give you a much more uniform distribution of corn, stalk and leaves, thus uniform protein, energy, starch content and roughage content. Every bite will basically be the same whereas grazing standing corn might have half the cows eating nothing but ears of corn while others eat little more than the dry leaves. Requires more equipment and time but to feed silage but you can better control how much you want to feed and done properly virtually eliminate shrink (waste or loss). [/QUOTE]
