Different hays and grasses will make different colors of haylage. And some of it will smell pretty eeewwww, yet the cows will love it. We don't panic over some mold in hay when we feed because they get enough that they don't "HAVE TO" eat anything moldy. I do worry about moldy grain but not the hay. They will eat around it and leave the stuff that doesn't appeal to them. I have seen and smelt some pretty strong bales of haylage, and figured they were basically a waste of time; only to have the cows clean up every bit. Others I thought were pretty decent and they didn't really like it.
