Southern Indiana | Any kind of baleage will bring critters and varmints if it is placed in remote areas. I've tried flashing lights, motion sensor plastic owls, and pie tins tied to a t post and this year has been my most successful. Still went through a lot of duct tape and need to find some kind that is UV resistant. I've never made wheat hay but have made oat baleage and would not do it again unless I have some way of grinding it. The longer it is the more they waste and my cows wasted an incredible amount. Probably a third. They pull out a mouthful and whatever is dropped on the ground stays on the ground. They don't waste grass hay which is just as long nearly as bad. Don't know why. But with all the problems of baleage (which there aren't really all that many) I would never go back to trying to make all dry hay. | |
