north central NE | I am a little late on the reply here, but I am doing what you are thinking about. Short on hay this year and have a bunch of shell corn on hand that I don't consider worth selling now and doesn't appear the price will go up for a while. Buy hay at 100+ a ton or feed my corn already on the place that isn't worth much over 100 a ton. I'm figuring one pound of corn replaces 2 pounds of hay. Corn is coarse rolled and mixed with corn silage and alfalfa in vertical mixer. My brother in Wyoming has stretched his hay with corn for years, he says 10 lbs is the max and work them up on it slow. He feeds his corn straight in bunks with a feeder in the back of the pickup. | |
