I would opt for the trailer, possibly with gates/railings/slats around the
perimeter of the bed of the trailer, so that the cattle can't push the silage
on the ground and trample and waste it.

I would recommend 1 of 2 things. First, feed straight from the trailer. no
waste and no handling. My neighbor does this. I have a "cargo handler"
which is a heavy plastic tarp that rolls out into a pick up bed and then you
hand turn a crank, rolling up the tarp and pulling the load out of the pickup
bed and dumping it on the ground. I use it for manure, woodchips, and
gravel. they are about $100 at Northern Tool + Equipment.
