I asked this question on Agtalk as well, so anyone that reads both sites bear with me. We are currently dry rolling barley for a backgrounding ration. We are looking at moving into finishing more of our own cattle and I was studying more on feeding barley in finishing diets last night. I came across a couple of mentions in the literature about harvesting barley at higher moisture, 25-30%, rolling it and then ensiling it. I don't have a bunker to pack the grain in so I started to think about bagging it. Is there anyone here that does that? If so, do you need to use a silage bagger or can you get enough pressure with a regular grain bagger? Also, do you need to inoculate the grain as it goes in?
