Steers Prefer Eating Stover Over Grain

We’ve known for a long time that cattle like Cornrower stover because it doesn’t contain dirt and it is chopped up, making it much easier to ingest and chew. An endorsement of Cornrower stover from the steers that had gotten into a corn field that was being harvested came recently. After unloading grain and heading back to the corn being harvested, we saw steers eating the stover in the windrows – preferring that to the grain on the stalk, unharvested stover and grass that was immediately available.

Harvesting stover the right way makes a ‘waste’ commodity a valuable feed. Photos are shown above of the steers eating an evening meal, along with video from inside the cab and field level here:
