[QUOTE="Silver, post: 1480346, member: 12520"] The thing about silage bales is that if you are going to make it you need to make enough to make it worthwhile. It takes a little while to get their guts working on it. We wrap quite a bit of our hay and oats. The best silage you will wrap is a crop you intend to wrap. If you are wrapping because it's been rained on or such it won't be optimal. Cut an optimal crop one day and wilt over night (extra day or two for oats) and the feed can't be beat. One thing I like about oats is the young animals clean it up. When oats are baled dry the stems become a tough sell. Oat silage bales are a lot easier to roll out in the cold than hay bale silage.
