Re: [RC] Kudzoo Hay Revisited - Karen LyndSounds like silage to me. My grandfather ran and my uncles now run a dairy farm in Michigan. One of the staples they feed the cattle is silage, which is the entire corn plant mulched up and then stored in a silo. It is kind of wet and the cattle love it. It smells wonderful (ok, its a great farm type smell). As a side benefit, there is a drain in the bottom of the silo, which drains into the cattle yard. The liquid drains out of the silo and ferments, and the cattle drink it and get a little stoned. They love it.

I remembered that when I was a kid my dad used to buy my pony bags of "Crushing". It was apparently corn, shucks, stalks & everything else thrown into something like a mulcher. It looked like a very fine hay mulch. My pony ate it, slowly and not real enthusiastically. I hated it because I was comparing it to sweet feed...but as a hay substitute I kinda wonder now how that would rate and if they still bag that up for cows. Anybody know?
