When I was going to ag school after getting out of the navy, one of the instructors who was feeding his cows hmsc out of a harvestor had the same question. he took a bucket of manure and picked the corn kernnels out of the manure until he had enough to send in for testing. I believer the test came back about 85% tdn. Not much gone out of that corn. Secondly one year I put hmsc in a 12x35 stave silo using what was call the vicious circle. A section of blower pipe that had sickle sections welded into it to theorticaly crack the kernals as they were blown in the silo. made wonderful feed , the cows loved it. but the manure was just yellow with corn. When that ran out, the first grind of dry corn was cleaning out the bottom of a round crib . Was quite nasty, moldy corn. Really was worried if the cows would eat it. They did and most surprizing was that they came up on milk. thirdly many big dairys using tmr's have gone to grinding their corn fine like pig feed because they get more out of it. I know these are all in reference to dairy cows vs feeder cattle, but they both have the same digestive system.

I was thirteen, and Kathy (my oldest sister) was seven. At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows! And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
