Kansas Farmer With New Butler Alvin Beachey of Hutchinson, Kansas, says, "This year some of my neighbors lost most of their second crop of hay because of the rainy weather. I saved mine because I could put up low moisture silage (LMS or haylage) in one day.” Beachey has 45 cows with a herd average of about 14,000 pounds of milk. He has had an increase in milk production since switching to the Butler Stor-N-Feed system. He says, “The cows clean up all the LMS. When I was feeding baled hay. I had to clean out the stems, and cows refused hay every day. I have no bloat problems with newly ensiled LMS, and I can’t see any drop in milk production when I switch from filling to feeding.” Beachey also comments, “The structure unloads fast; it only takes me 4V2 minutes to fill a 60’ long feed bunk. I like the quality of the feed coming out; the cows like it and eat more of it than they did baled hay.” Beachey also has a concrete stave silo. In 1966, he topped off his Butler structure with the sorghum and put the remainder in his concrete stave silo. He re calls, “The silage in the Butler sealed storage was a better color and smelled better than that in the stave silo. The cows preferred it, too.” I STOR-N-FEet) 1 Butler Agri-Products Division Now Available in Bottom or Top Unloader miems mj mums u systems AGRI-INC. R.
