Shep, I can only tell you my experience with sorguhm many years ago and that was probably in the mid to late fifties. Dad raised it to fill silo for our dairy cows. I know it is loaded with sugar and man does it smell great after it has been ensiled? Smelled like sweet apples and the cows would knock you down to get to it as far as feed value I'm not sure I know our cows got pretty fat and they were on a limited ration to a generous 12tine ensilage fork full topped with a level feed scoop mixture of ground corn and oats a small cup of dairy supplement each milking and during the day all the hay they wanted. Couple real quick issues the darn stuff is heavy so watch filling a big forage box as full as corn because you will have some flat tires and a 12ton box will become a 14 or 16 ton box real quick you'll have strain on web chains and moving parts also undercarriage problems. It doesn't or didn't handle frost well once frosted it's done. Hope this helps take care, CT.
