Any problems with feeding straight whole/cracked corn as an occasional supplement?

Not recomended for light weight calves, but no problem with anything else.

Occasional is an issue with starchy feed, but it depends on the amount. For protein supplements you can get by with feeding every second or third day.

Are there any ground cob corn feeders still out there?
