Good-quality baled silage

IDEALLY, BALED SILAGE should be made with leafy grass with its higher digestibility and higher feeding value.

If baled silage is cut later in the season then its quality won't be as high because digestibility is directly related to the maturity of the grass. Harvesting in late June or after means the digestibility of baled silage is not adequate for finishing cattle or milking cows. Cutting grass while it is leafy and not stemmy will ensure quality silage. Planning ahead will ensure that your investment in the silage has the best outcome.
