Have a half section of dry beans that the wind blew the windrows all to hell. Got most of it in the combine but probably left 5-10 bpa in the field, mostly single pods that broke off the plants and couldn't be picked up. I am wondering if it would work to graze the cows on it? I know they don't mind nosing through bean straw but not sure about turning them out on an entire field. Don't want to deal with 200 cows with gas and explosive diarrhea. They would likely be in there for a couple weeks until the corn is off.

They would likely be in there for a couple weeks until the corn is off. The Cattle here don’t care for edible beans. Deer neither. Winter 2019-20 when there was lots of crop left out, the deer had well travelled paths right across edible beans to get to and from the soybeans and corn fields. Cleaned up the soybeans right to the ground, they never touched the dry beans. I do feed some edible bean screenings to my cows but need to blend it down with fababean and pea screenings to make it work. So you shouldn’t have to worry about gas, my girls would’ve blown up by now. |
