[QUOTE="gotfire, post: 597697, member: 8968"] I ended up with about 150 alfalfa / clove and about 150 corn silage bails (default on barn rent). It was all cut the first of June wrapped 4 times in the field hauled and had 3 more layers put on before being stacked in my barn. From bail to stack was about 8 hours (form what I was told). The last time I fed silage is when I was 17 working on a dairy. I did take 3 rolls of each down to the dairy I worked at and talked to the old man about it. It looked and smelled good; he tossed it all right out to his young girls. But I could not talk him into buying it all because it’s too much of a pain for him to mess with (would go bad once moved). I want to feed it to my girls to get rid of it. With the weather it looks like I’ll have to put them to pasture in the next week when we would feed hay for 45 to 90 days before putting them back out to MOB. With 353 heifers and 344 calves (wean in April) how many bails of each would to put out. We use 6 overhead hay feeders that hold 2 full and 2 - 1/2 bails each. I have a bunker off my barn that would be easy to use; it should hold 4 bails. I don’t plan on letting them run out of hay but would toss out the silage as an option. They have crushed salt and 2 different mixes of minerals. I know to watch for bloat and to watch there pie’s to see how there handling everything. How many bails would you try to put out a day of each? (I have plenty of hay but what this stuff gone.) [/QUOTE]
