Bagging alfalfa can eliminate the need to feed dry hay because it contains a higher percentage of dry matter. Alfalfa, clover, and grass breeds are cut approximately every 26 to 30 days. Legumes are cut at two inches and below, wilted to 60-70% moisture, and fermented to a low stable PH value. Legumes are richer in proteins than cereal grains.

Sorghum varieties are a warm weather crop known for its drought tolerance and high quality feed mix for dairy and beef cattle. Sorghum varieties maintain high nutritional value as silage when head-chopped or whole-plant chopped at moisture levels similar to corn (maize).

Harvesting these grains ‘in the boot’ of maturity provides a higher, nutritive, and digestible silage. Harvesting these grains at a later maturity provides more dry matter and less energy. These cereal grains can be head-chopped and fed as a concentrate replacing nearly pound per pound of dry grain.
