“We try to put our haylage in the Harvestore
structure at about 40-45% moisture. With our
Harvestore System, we’re able to feed a fermented
feed all the time. Anybody who knows anything at
ail about milking cows knows that green feed is
pot good for then}. The cows seem to have a very
good appetite for the Harvestore-processed haylage.
We had no trouble switching the cows to the
haylage.”
Dave Burket, Jr. with the Goliath unloader
Thanks to our many customers and friends who stopped by
to say hello during Farm Show!
The results you may achieve with your Harveslore* System depend primarily upon your management skills and may vary from successful results achieved by others. Any application to a
particular farming operation requires the advice of qualified experts and is subject to limitations of good management, weather and other conditions present at the individual location.

“Why did we build a Harvestore® system from
Penn Jersey for haylage? Convenience!! We didn’t
like the dirty chute. And now we have the
convenience of being able to fill and feed out at
the same time. With Harvestore-processed haylage,
we felt we would be able to make a substantial
savings in purchased feed costs.”
“We feed about 2/3 Harvestore-processed haylage
and 1/3 corn silage in our feed ration to the milk
cows. Our total mixed ration is mixed for 60 lbs.
milk in a stanchion barn.”
“The butterfat is better on our dairy herd since
feeding haylage from our Harvestore System. Our
test is significantly higher. It’s an average of
two points better with Harvestore-processed
haylage.”
“And our Goliath® unloader does a good job
taking feed out of the Harvestore structure. It
takes 12 min. three times a day to feed the 100
milk cows with the new update kit on the
unloader.”
