[QUOTE="Atimm693, post: 1770010, member: 26138"] It's an issue and they will always pick through it to some degree I think. But we've been feeding it to calves for 4 years now, although we chop it in the bale and then run it through the mixer which chops it further. Doing your best to cut before it gets really tall and tough, and making sure it retains enough moisture will help. Although the wetter and sappier it is, the harder it is to handle and bale, so there's a balance. As mentioned, we also prefer to cut it with alfalfa or something sweet. Seems the calves eat it better that way. Once it gets cold cows will clean it up pretty well though. [/QUOTE]
