In Reply to: Feeding Corn Stalks posted by jacksonduper on October 11, 2008 at 20:12:38:
As others have said, they beat a snow ball and cows don't do too bad on them. There was alot of cows include'n mine round here last winter that made it through with them. I would not feed just stalks for a long time, what I have always done with bad hay is feed two good ones and one bad one. Last year was the first time in years that alot of people here put up stalks and we all learned alot. Some balers like the bush hogged, mine did not. I had to cut them down with a disk mower. Use net wrap if you can or move them as close as you can to where they are going to be fed asap before they get rained on.
Stalks are better if you can get them befor they are rained on. If you can try to find some places in the field that have crabgrass in it. A mix of stalks and crabgrass will bale better and be better for you cows too. Crabgrass will cure quick.
If you can work out something with the neighbor, I have found its alot cheaper and quicker to put up a hot wire around a corn field than to try to bale the stalks. Just an idea.
