Credit Grass Silage
OHy Cattle Are I'M Far Better
BY DEL LICHTENBERG. Madison Count

clover and bluegrass. Nothing is
added as we process it, but we now
think it might be wise to feed an
energy material in pellet form of
molasses and grain. However, in
recent blood test of calves we found
our vitamin A content way above
the requirements for healthy cattle.
Pit and Stack
We use two methods of storing
the silage, one in dug pit and the
other on top of the ground. When we
stack the material on top of the
ground we pack it against a wall
of baled hay which helps to seal
out the air and we finally cover
both the pit and the above ground
stacks with several layers of baled
hay. Actually, our spoilage is less
than one half of one per cent, so
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1954-05-15

I AM ALWAYS happy to spread
the gospel about silage because we
think there is a lot of advanced
thinking to it. Furthermore, it will
be as prominent in the diet of cat
tie in the next few years as hay has
been for the last hundred years.
Silage is important for many rea-
sons. First, it is cheap to process, ap-
proximately $1.90 per ton. Second,
it is palatable and high in vitamin
A content, about times the con-
tent of baled hay. Third, it has a
high moisture content, about 60 to
20 per cent. Fourth, it equals or is
better than dry hay in phosphorus,
calcium and protein.
For the last two years we have
put up around $500 tons of silage
which is fed to all of our cattle,
cows, calves and bulls. The silage is
composed of alfalfa, bronze, Dutch

grass. This is ample proof for me
that it is as good as any feed you
can give to any livestock. My horses
even eat it and chickens definitely
lay more eggs when given access to
silage.
In feeding it in the winter time, it
is not necessary to have hunks for
range animals, as it can be fed on
the snow or frozen grounds. Bunks
would be necessary, though, if feed
ing in corrals or in muddy weather.
In constructing silo, mine was
dug in knoll with bulldozer and
is Is feet wide on top, IA feet. wide
on the bottom, go feet long and ap-
proximately feet deep. I think it
is better to have them wider and not
so long, rather than long and narrow
for the fact you avoid side spoilage.
Cut Before Frost
We start cutting operations for the
silo when the corn is at stiff dough
or hard roasting ear stage. 1t is best
to have the corn all in the silo be-
fore frost. use men with wagons
and truck as a spare. Our wagons
are made like the old style header
box, only the low side drops down
like beet box for unloading.
We use a heavy woven wire sling
with pole on each end across the
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1954-05-15

we feel it is practically negligible.
Our method of processing the ST.
lage is to use a field chopper which
cuts the standing crop and blows it
into automatic, unloading wagons.
Two wagons are used. One is fast
ened behind the silage cutter while
the other is transported to the stack
and unloaded. 1t is possible by this
arrangement to use only three men,
two tractors and a Jeep or small
tractor to transport the wagons from
the field to the storage areas. The
wagons are also used during the
feeding season, which makes it pos
Sible for one man to feed 1000 cat
tie in about 80 minutes.
To load the silage into the wagons
from the stack, we use a manure
loader on tractor. The pit silo is
about 40 feet wide, therefore it is
easy to pull the wagons in and
turn around to get into position
for easy loading.
Start Feeding in December
1t is our policy to start feeding
the ensilage around Dec. 10 at the
rate of about 10 pounds per animal.
Obviously, weather conditions have
a lot to do with when we actually

Farm, Ranch Experiences
Corn Silage Solved My
Dryland Feed Problem
By COYNE C. TIBBETS
Sheridan County, Wyoming

MOST OF MY LIFE have farmed
dryland and run livestock. My ranch
consists of $500 acres, of which I
farm 300, so as to have winter feed.
That has always been a problem,
where hay was concerned. A lot of
years alfalfa won't make decent
hay crop in this area because of too
little moisture. But since started
raising corn for silage I have been
able to build up reserve of hay
and feed for my 1000 head of sheep
and 40 head of Herefords.
Corn silage is particularly good
for old ewes, calves or old cows, as
it makes a soft feed and they eat it
readily and do very well on it. Some
times you have to add little grain,
according to condition of flesh you
want on your stock. 1t depends some
on how much corn you have in your
silage, as some years corn yields bet
ter than others. But corn, even
though it hasn't much grain, will
make silage.
Cows Give More Milk
We feed our milk cows all the
silage they will eat, with about five
quarts of rolled barley twice a day
and they will give more milk in the
winter time on this ration than if
they were running on lush green
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1954-05-15

feet deep. This also has tendency
to preserve the top. After this is
done, cover the whole silo with
strips of light weight tar paper, plac-
ing the strips across the pit and put
just enough dirt on to hold the paper
down. There is very little mold if
any when you use the paper, and
in the winter when it is cold, it is
easy to remove the paper a strip at
time even if frozen. The salt pre-
vents. excessive freezing on top.
Silage Keeps Well
l have kept silage for years this
way and it was in very good condi-
ton. l will have some left to carry
over the third year this time. My pit
holds $50 ton.
have had years of silage and
find the IS to 90-day hybrid corn the
best for my area. A later corn makes
more tonnage, but there is more corn
on the earlier. The small, palmer
corn varieties don't have the yield
the hybrid has, in either tonnage or
quality. 1 get 212 to 8 tons per acre
on this 8-year average. 1t doesn't
sound like much but in my upland
soil it is considered good. Alfalfa
won't make "a ton per acre.
Another problem I have solved is
open water for my livestock in the
winter. l used to have to chop ice in
reservoirs, as that is my main source
of water. But now l have a tank and
heater unit that operates on bottled
gas that can be set in a reservoir,
spring, tank or creek, and it will
keep water open even in sub-zero
weather at very nominal cost. ]
hope to have this tank on the market
this fall.
start. But, assuming Dec. 10 as the
starting date, we then increase the
amount to 20 pounds by Jan. 10,
then to 35 pounds by Feb. l, at
which rate it is fed until we are
ready for new grass.
Calves are fed from to 10 pounds
each day, depending on their size.
Bulls and milk cows get about the
same amount each day as the breed
ing cows. Along with the silage we
have been feeding a substantial
amount of straw and, as we ap-
proach the calving time, we switch
to small amount of good hay.
We are absolutely confident that
our cattle are in far better condi-
ton now than ever before and this
we attribute entirely to the high
vitamin A content we are getting
in our silage. We predict that the
time will come in five to seven years
that silage will be as popular with
the good stockman as baled hay has
become over stacked hay.
We will find some amazing things
nutrition-wise in cattle in the next
few years and I am confident that
silage is one step toward improved
nutrition.

loading easier. Hook one pole to the
top of the high side of the wagon.
The high side of the silage wagon is
Az feet, the low side is 2 feet, and
made with hinge that drops down.
We drive up to the side of the silo
and hook a cable to this high pole,
and with a tractor across the pit,
pull the silage off the wagon in a
heap. This saves a lot of pitching.
Replace the wire sling in the wagon
and it is ready for the next load.
l use the same iron wheel tractor
to pack the silage, which is done
every or loads, running from the
lower side up the slope of silage and
backing down.
Start at Steep End
One end of your silo can have
steep slope, the other open, allowing
a tighter pack by starting at the
steep end. You may have to run
through the pit few times at be-
ginning until the silage begins to
get solid, but by running up the
slope you won't get stuck and it
seems to pack tighter. Give special
care to the sides, to see they are well
packed.
After you have filled the silo, it
is best to wet it down with water,
putting plenty on the sides. This
seeps down through and vets the
walls and makes very good seal.
About Is gallons of water to the ton
is right. The water avoids mold and
also removes danger of prussic acid.
After the water has been applied,
sprinkle on about 400 pounds of salt
to the area of 16 feet by 90 feet G.
