Alfalfa is rich horse feed yet must be offered with care to avoid overeating. Mature work horses need less roughage than free access would permit and should be fed first with second cutting alfalfa free from mold. Sudden feed changes upset digestion. In sow selection, favor cows with length of body for better breeding and larger litters rather than short, fat sows. Cowpeas precede corn to supply nitrogen for corn growth.
Farmers faced severe ensilage freezing in silos during extreme cold last winter. Move ensilage away from walls and center the bulk to retain heat, cover with thick carpet, and install high ventilators to exhaust rising heat. Proper ventilation and center warmth help keep feed smoother and safer.
