More Beef!

Beef producer:
200 head herd
“The quality of the feed helps reduce the cost of mineral and supplement. My herd maintains a better body condition score, and the cows are breeding back more easily.”

More Butterfat!
Kevin High
Wolcott NY
Dairy operation:
140 milk cows
“We were feeding chopped silage from a bunker, I was losing a minimum of 15% of feed and the quality wasn’t there. Since feeding balage, we have increased the butterfat content in our milk. By baling myself, I gain in production and feed quality.”
More Milk!
John Martwezak
Bentleyville PA
Dairy operation:
95 milk cows
“It’s 3 times faster, and I cut down on fuel consumption, and got rid of a lot of costly equipment. Compared to chopped silage, I feed less grain and less supplement, save about 30%, and get 7% increased milk production.”
More Quality!

We were looking for a system that speeds up the operation, reduces loss and increases feed quality. We'll be wrapping everything we can next year if the weather co-operates.
I was making silage in a pit with a tarp before but I went with the wrapper because I was experiencing way to much loss and the quality was not there.
I've owned the wrapper for only a year and have wrapped 450 high moisture bales (170 feed value) and 300 bales of corn stalks, even though this was a dry year.
I'm so happy with the wrapper that I promote it by doing a field day with the University of Minnesota.
