The rain factor.

You can put up quality, high-protien alfalfa as silage almost any time - need about 24-36 hours rain-free.

Hay, you need 3-4 days rainfree. Catch a bad time, & your whole cutting is ruined, or made so late your protien is all shot.

Feeding the feed through a TMR is a little easier with silage as well, it sticks together, mixes well, leaves don't blow away....

Dependable, quality product, which is what you need for max milk production.

Us beef people can be a lot more flexable, and use a bit more volume of lesser quality. So we make more hay.
