Hi all baled some reseed as round bale silage jus over a week ago... Is it safe to feed to some store cattle....?
 
You can feed it as soon as you want, I know plenty who don't wrap even their last dozen bales because they feed it straight away and then move onto wrapped bales.

They could get a little loose on it until it's stabilised (which takes about 6 weeks) but if it's reseeded grass they'll most likely skitter on it any way.

From those various websites you can feed it but if its not consumed quick enough it will spoil quicker than stable silage.

We have the choice of various pile to choose from Never feed anything thats less than 2 months baled.
