Whole crop cereal silage is very popular down here.(New Zealand} as a carbohydrate feed. Cheaper than maize in areas that are too cool in summer. Triticale, wheat or barley varieties without awns. Great vlog as always! Hope your heifer that slipped comes into milk.
You're sure a believer in poor feed is better than no feed. If you're going to buy good seed and have good planting equipment and do all the work and then let that be lost by not getting it harvested on time is sad.
Nice farm well kept
Very nice video. Thank you.

Great Video.
Would be interested in the forage analysis of the crop
Will this be heifer or milk cow feed? Will be interesting to see what the feed tests come back as when it gets that tall.
Planning to feed it to the dry cows and heifers.
What’s the moisture content when you direct cut?
This was in the low to mid-60s
What percent protein?
Sorry Dane, I forgot to get back with you. It is 8% protein.
