King City, Mo | I know Nothing about putting up silage. So
Asking questions.
We are Getting into sweet corn processing season and we offer shucked and silked corn for our customers.
So we been feeding the shucks and cobs to our butcher beef. Well the bigger ones are gone and we only have 6 - maybe 3wts we been had as bottle calves.
We been giving them 10-12dz worth of shucks with their grain spaced out over twice a day.
Its either feast of famine on the corn shucks and cobs. Everybody wants a bunch at once or nobody. When we process corn there is 2-3 bottom halfs of a
Caged tote of stuff. So way too much the calves cant eat it.
So was thinking would it work to setup a small silage like pile and pack it so we could feed it later on? We could pack with 4455 or t300 and feed later with little 1025r with loader or bobcat.
I hate to see it go to waste and BIL has cows but would be a once a week trip to them 1hr away and idk how cobs and shucks would handle sitting in the heat for 4-5 days.
