[QUOTE="ChrisB, post: 1222752, member: 122"] I've looked into it a bit and even toured a place that had invested around $250,000 in a fodder setup for their dairy. They were still working out the kinks as growing it is not as easy as the ads make it sound. But needless to say with that much invested they were believers in it. It really isn't a way to save money on the feed bill but the advantages were more health and performance related. I forgot now how many pounds a day they were feeding, but they just drove the TMR mixer by a loading dock and tipped the trays in. It was really an interesting setup. This was for an organic dairy, I really don't see any worthwhile advantages for a beef herd. At least that was my conclusion, and I was all excited about it at one time. [/QUOTE]
