Some years when I have run out of hay before it was time to put them out to grass, I have baled some green, freshcut "hay" and seen it got HOT by the second day. Hard on the baler belts too.

Even when it gets down to the 30% range, it will get hot pretty quick and you likely lose quite a bit of feed value. If you can't put the cows to the field it might be best to do as Grassfarmer said and make it one day at a time. Lotsa work but maybe the best return.

Oh yeah, and don't stand behind them . . . . . . :wink:  :lol:
