Why Baleage Might Be Your Best Forage Investment

Better Nutrition. Less Waste. More Control.

If you’re still feeding only dry hay, you might be leaving performance – and profit – on the table.
At Graff Grown, we’ve seen how baleage can transform herd health and feed efficiency for South Texas ranchers.

Here’s why this modern forage method is worth considering 👇

🌾 What Is Baleage?
Baleage is hay that’s cut earlier, baled at higher moisture (40–60%), and wrapped to ferment.
Why it matters: That fermentation preserves more nutrients and makes the feed softer and more digestible.

🐂 Higher Energy and Protein
Because it’s harvested earlier, baleage retains more Total Digestible Nutrients (TDN) and crude protein than dry hay.
Best for: Cattle in growth, lactation, or finishing stages needing high performance.

💪 Less Waste, Longer Storage
Wrapped bales stay fresh for months when stored properly.
Why it works: Reduced spoilage and leaf loss compared to dry hay, especially in humid or rainy conditions.

🌦️ Ideal for South Texas Weather
Rain can ruin a hay crop fast – baleage gives you flexibility.
Why it works: You can harvest sooner after cutting without waiting for days of sunshine.
