So... how did you make it? Looks like the animals like it but did you add sugars? How long did you dry it? Great idea with the riding lawnmower.

hlo

Would love to know what happened between the time you bagged the grass and dumped it in a pile, and the time you opened the bag to feed your herd.

Did you test for moisture? Did you add bagged molasses? Or did you simply cram the grass into the bag?

This is like posting a video "How to Make a Cake" with showing only a grocery sack followed by a birthday celebration.

you didn't make anything but modly hay

If I remember well, a farm I visited in Nicaragua when I was 13 (during the early 60's) , they stored the grass in a deep underground silo, alternating layers of young corn plants (no more than 4' tall) with some molasses and a bit of urea, plus some powdered lime. The silo was about 100 feet deep and once it was full, they covered the top with a thick tarp and then about three feet of dirt to keep the tarp in place. When opened six months later, the smell was delicious and almost intoxicating. The cows loved it! It was served to them mixed with ground dried corn, husks and all.

Thanks for sharing. Subbing your channel. Hope you swing by and check out our channel.

this is completely white trash

Do you add any molasses to it or anything else or just bag it up?

You need to explain why you're doing what your doing, how it works, how dry does the grass and others have to be before you can ensile it? It feels great, awesome? What are those of us who do not know what it's supposed to feel like feeling for?

You obviously know what you're doing, but we do not, so please, could you make another video with much more detail?

love the goats... seems like the silage...

Please how is this silage preserved?

Grass contains through assimilation the most suger at the end of the day. For high quality, it is best to mow your gras at the end of a sunny day. Also, young grass has got a higher nutritional value than old grass (End of summer.) or grass with flower stalks. Thanks for the video

I believe you made haylage not silage. Your feed looks fairly dry? Silage is in the 60-70% MOISTURE RANGE. Here's a video about real lawn clipping silage. Look up BioPac'r silage explained.

Very help full I have subscribed
