Corn Silage Outperforms Sorghum-Sudan in Steer Fattening
A U S Department of Agriculture report finds sorghum-sudan hybrids do not replace corn silage in fattening trials. Yields reach about 25 tons per acre with two cuttings, versus 10 tons for widerrow corn, but feed value differs. After 140 days, corn silage steers gained 0.21 pounds more per day, while sorghum-sudan yielded 145 pounds less. Prices show corn silage at $8 per ton, sorghum-sudan at $5, and income variation influences consumption patterns.
