Roughage feeding tips for dairy cows by Prof Hayden
Prof G C Hayden from the Ohia experiment station advises feeding roughage to dairy cows in proportion to capacity. He notes hay and stover are cheaper than grains, with alfalfa hay at about $20 a ton, soy bean hay similar to alfalfa, and clover around $20 a ton with corn at $1 a bushel. Timothy hay is only for milking cows in small amounts to replace grains. Leguminous roughages outperform timothy in many milk cow trials.

Practical silos save dairy and beef costs for farmers
Dairymen say silos cut butterfat cost by eight to ten cents per pound. Beef feeders report ensilage saves up to $150 per hundred pounds. Feeding tests support these claims with ensilage valued at $4 a ton under normal prices and $6 a ton if feed costs rise 50 percent. Farmers report corn on silage at $2.75 per ton including production costs. The case for having a silo appears stronger than deciding whether to build one.
