It's called silage, and it's not pickled, but fermented. In order to make silage, you have to have the feed compressed enough so that you're sure no air pockets are in the feed, then cover it up with plastic, not allowing any spaces under the plastic or even holes in the plastic. You could weigh it down with tires, bales or anything else heavy that can be spared to keep the silage on. Then leave it be for a few weeks to ferment before you feed it to cattle.
The best plants for silage is barley, grass (with very little legumes), wheat, corn, and oats.

How many tons of feed will it take to feed 50 cattle for a year?
It depends on the average size of the cattle. The amount of feed to feed cattle depend on their average weight and sex of cattle. Mature cows tend to eat more than weaned calves; young bulls eat more than steers, and steers tend to eat more than heifers. Older cattle eat more than younger cattle, and, thinner cattle eat more than fatter cattle. So with that, I cannot give you an accurate number.
How much corn is in cattle feed?
It depends on the location, and the type or class of animals fed. There can be as little as no corn (0%) in a feed ration for cattle, or as much as 85% in a feed ration. Not all areas in the world can or will grow corn, and not all feed fed to cattle includes corn. For instance, much of the grain fed to cattle in Canada is barley or oats, not corn.
