[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 667233, member: 4362"] I agree, millet is a wonderful forage but it too has its drawbacks. First one is it grows so fast you better be ready to graze it. If the cows can't catch it, it will go rank on you and you need to bale it or face possible eye problems in the cattle. If you cut it, then its going to take several days to get it dry enough to bale so you really need a backup plan like baleage or something like this. If you end up doing baleage, then you are faced with the problem of eventually moving and feeding 1500-1800 lb bales but the cows love it. But lord have mercy on the over eager cow that sticks its head into the ring just as you drop that sucker in the ring. Yep, it will brain it good. Pin its head in the pile of sileage and you will get to dig its head out. Reaching into that sour mash slippery slimey gom isn't for everyone especially if you are on your way to a social function. The smell just doesn't rinse off but gradually wears off. Oh, and the cow. When you finally dig your way to the cow you'll find it is eating its way out like nothing ever happened. Yep, its got its drawbacks but I think I can deal with them. :nod: [/QUOTE]
