Does anyone here do small scale silage? I've been doing some research and see some people do it in 55gal barrels. I have some barrels that I could use and kinda want to see if anyone here has experience doing this and if there are any cons to feeding silage? Any advice/ tips would be greatly appreciated.

If I decide to do this I plan on mulching/chipping sunflower seed stalks mixed with grasses and some leaves.

Yeah I've been doing research on it and I think I'd rather make mini hay bales out of alfalfa / grasses. I was interested in the silage because of all the extra byproduct of sunflower seed plants I am going to have but if its such a risk I think I'll just feed it to them freshly cut.
