Subject: Silage vs Hay for beef cattle?



Traverse City MI
I have a similar question as the one below but I didn't want to hijack his thread. We have a pretty decent hay market here and I would like to feed corn silage and sell the hay but I'm not sure how to value the corn silage. Average corn yield is 80-120. We're feeding 13 brood cows and 16 finishers. I am thinking I using an 8x100 bag to store the feed. Would 10ton an acre be unreasonable for decet corn? Using my math I'm money ahead to sell the hay and chop the corn but that's if I valued the corn silage right. How do you guys figure the value of corn silage?
