[QUOTE="50/50Farms, post: 1756772, member: 42731"] Corn is loaded with a lot more sugars, simple starches, etc than many other grains. This is doubly true for almost all livestock if it's cracked or split or milled way down for broken mouthed stock. There's nothing inherently wrong with this if you're trying to put fat/meat on a slaughter animal's bones, maintain a show weight, or have an animal like a good mule or horse that works like a Singer sewing machine. This is why I grimace when I see the sweet old ladies with just a few pasture ornaments leaving the feed store with bags and bags of corn. If they ever have to move those types of cows, they'll have to roll 'em to the ramp. [/QUOTE]
