Kale For Cow Feed

Categories: Feeding Farm Animals

What is kale worth for cow feed as compared with alfalfa, also can it be

cut and cured the same as alfalfa and what variety is the best?



Kale is very similar to cabbage in growth, and for feeding purposes. For

cow feed it would have about three-fourths the amount of digestible

nutrients as green alfalfa, but would have an added value on account of

its succulency. It would go especially well with alfalfa hay. The Jersey

or Thousand-Headed kale is considered the standard for stock or poultry

feed. It is always fed fresh and is not made into hay.







What Kind of Beet for Stock?







Which would be most valuable to plant on river-bottom land for cattle

and hog feed, sugar beets or mangels?
