We don't need to feed high priced alfalfa with the WDG, you can get it for around $20.00 to $30.00 per ton. I also own a feed store and think that it is really more what you like to feed. In my area cake is about 3 cents cheaper than protein tubs but you have to consider gas and wear and tear on you pickup with caking every day instead of once a week with tubs. We feed Loomix to our cows it is a little more expensive but I belive it is worth it.

Yes in my location there are 4 ethenol plats within 100 mile and ther will be 2 more by next year. 2 month ago when we first started feeding it they had so much extra that one plant hire one of my truck to haul it 3 mile from the plant and dump it on a stubble field. They gave us the first 4 loads now that the feedlot ore filling up and using more they don't have a problem getting rid of it. Once in a wile we will get a phone call from one of them and they have some extra but we can normaly find someone to take it to.

I Use a Skid loader to mix and any other tractor to pack the WDG silage, you have to make shure that you don't make the pile to steep because the WDG is verry slick.
