For those that have and use baleage in you operation, when, or do you, test the baleage? I'm guessing when you start to feed to the cows but am concerned if the results were to come back as a low quality feed. This is our first year trying baleage and have wrapped about 150 rolls.
 
Never sampled it. Seems like if it's good feed going into the bag it's good coming out. I really should test though, just for peace of mind if nothing else.

Random sample 3 or 4 bales up and down the stack. Use a hay probe and duct tape the holes

OK, thanks. Do I wait the time required before the baleage is ready (6 - 8 weeks) or after the bales are wrapped?
