My herd is what is no classed as a small fairy herd, just over 100 tue stalls. I have had bags and pits. Bags are good storage, but do cost more, and you have to get rid of the bag. Unless the bag is filled on a concrete pad, the ground in front of the bag becomes a rutted mud hole in November and December. Then in January the ruts are frozen til spring, not much fun either. Silage in bags freezes hard as a rock as much as a foot all around the outside edge. With a pit that has a concrete floor, only the top can freeze. Very low fixed cost, and any spoiled silage is used as compost. If we loose a animal on the farm, we can compost them, rather than pay the dead stock truck $200.00 to take the corps away. So even the spoiled feed has a use.
