Smallest silo?

   What’s the smallest silo someone has ever heard of? I’ve been day dreaming of getting a couple of beef cows. What’s the smallest silo someone has seen? Would it be possible to build an old fashion wood silo say 4’ or even 8’ in diameter and about 16’ tall to feed a bit of chopped grass or corn in the winter months? No much ag around here anymore so it would be hard to buy small amounts of silage for just a couple cows and it would be nice to chop the first crop early when it’s hard to make dry hay. I’ve got a sawmill and well equipped wood shop so making the staves wouldn’t be too hard. Any chance of this working or would it just be a large compost bin?
