[QUOTE="Amo, post: 810861, member: 14857"] The neighbor puts the moldy stuff to the side. What he is saying is that he is getting it bought cheap enough that he can not use the spoiled stuff and still be money ahead. Say he gets 5 loads to stock pile in the summer for use in the winter. They heap it up as much as possiable. Yes there is mold on the outside. Useable product underneath. Personally I wouldn't do that, but he does. My extension agent is the one who told me that the moldy stuff has the same feed value as fresh. Baxter Black does say nobody is as smart as a bus load of county agents. We all don't jump off the cliff. Just making conversation. What I was saying is if your going to store some ddg in the summer and feed it in the winter. Not feeding it this way as a ration. You don't need to run it all through a TMR wagon to make a silage pile. Yes running it all through a wagon would make a consistant product. If your mixing 130T of WDDG with hay your spending a lot of time with your wagon. The people that do this play around and figure out apx. how many buckets of hay to WDDG it takes to be able to shove it up and pack it. Its not an exact science. You will take product "X" and then put it in your TMR. Extension agent had a field day with this producer that did it. 3rd year he had done it. Feeds cows, developes his registared bulls on it, heiffers, etc. It really looked pretty good. He said you figure out your ratio, and go with it. If I go this route, I think Ill pile it between bales and put salt on top with plastic. That way its a consistant product and not much work. I know my web address didn't come up with a direct link, but Im sure that its [url=http://www.beef.unl.edu]www.beef.unl.edu[/url]. The nebraska corn board has them trying to find all kinds of ways to store it from summer to winter time. [/QUOTE]
