[QUOTE="farm36, post: 712224, member: 13499"] You have some choices to feed the corn silage. If bunk space is short the less dominant animals will get less and the more dominant animals will get to much.Buy more bunk space but this is probaly not an option. You can mix salt in the silage to stop the intake but this needs to mixed good to work and will be hard on the wagon.If you feed on the ground you will waste alot so this is not a good option. Next is work but it will have good results. Put the cattle in groups of body score or how much you want them to eat . Feed the cattle that need the best feed first and after they have had their fill or as much as you want them to eat take the wagon away and feed the next group the same way. The last group will clean up the wagon and have the lowest quality feed but they are the pigs of the group also and need to eat more grass . [/QUOTE]
