Alentejo, Portugal | Today i got a phonecall from some guy asking if i would sell him a load of my fresh chopped corn silage. We started chopping our corn yesterday, and if everything works out as planned, we´le be finished by saturday or sunday. (next week they say it´s going to rain)
He wants to mix it in a TMR, i don´t know with what, maybe straw or hay, and feed it to his beef cows that are out in the field. (no pastures here yet)
He said he was planning on feeding it for about 8-10 days... Is that even remotely possible??
I think that even if he unloads it and packs it with a tractor, covers it with some plastic that it will still spoil?
Maybe it is better for him to buy corn silage that is already fermented, like the corn we chopped a month or two ago? Even if he feeds that in ten days, i think it will still get hot?
What should i tell the guy, i mean i have absolutely no problem in selling him a truckload of silage, but to have him throw away his money, i don´t know.
What would you guys do?
TIA Dennis | |

How long can you feed green corn silage to beef cows?
