I know nothing about beef cattle but I would think you guys would want to chop your silage drier and later for maximum starch. Which would make the kernal processor more important, I would think.
I try to let my silage dry down to 65 percent or so, but with dairy we can't sacrifice much fiber digestablity for starch. So I won't go any drier. I would think beef guys would want to go down as low as 60 percent or so.
