[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 1096091, member: 7509"] Thanks, BB. I'm looking at silage as a supplement. I still want the cows to do most of the work around here. Silage does produce a lot of feed per acre, just like my grazing corn. I think I will have some silage custom bagged each year. I can grow pretty good corn fairly inexpensively. I just can't harvest and dry/haul/store or sell it inexpensively. Having silage custom bagged doesn't cost very much for what you get. Silage to supplement and extend their basic hay diet looks like a plan for the future. Next summer I will be planting a cover crop mix into the silage round right after the chopper leaves for fall and early spring grazing. It will scavange and hold any left over N and other nutrients from the corn as well as hold the soil and some moisture. -22 F predicted for tomorrow so need to get outside to plow some blowing snow and put out some more bedding for my bulls and calves...
