Grass cuttings Silage

Moving on from this topic  http://www.accidentalsmallholder.net/forum/index.php?topic=29241.0
Has anyone tried it with the goats ?  I have some barrels started for the sheep and calves but not sure about the goats  :-\ I am always a bit worried about silage and goats

We only feed it scythed fresh (maybe a day or two stored in large sacks), and buy in hay later in the summer/autumn. We just need too much to make it worthwhile our efforts...
 
And like you I am always worried about goats eating either silage or haylage, but I have fed haylage when I was sure it was ok. I buy in horsehage when desperate...
