[QUOTE="Douglas, post: 894995, member: 8840"] Every year i feed my sweet corn stalks from the garden to the calves while they are still green. They like it enought that i use it as an incentive to rotate to new paddock. I get where you are coming from on using somthing you can raise on your place with work instead of spending money on feed. I am also guessing by mowing you mean with a rotary mower not mowing for hay. The problem is that most adult cows don't need anything better than good hay. So you would have a high quality feed that maybe overkill so to speak. On the thread mentioned above the discussion is about using the cows to harvest which is not what you are doing. I would suggest trying to raise something you can bale and feed on that parcel, or trying this on a smaller scale like a few extra rows in the garden first. You could use a round up ready corn (1 acre) to avoid plowing and you could eliminate any unwanted grasses or weeds for a future use by spraying it. [/QUOTE]
