[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 447198, member: 6897"] Tex..those guys were just taking advantage of the stupidity and full pockets of the deer hunters...I've seen apple flavored corn but molasses on whole shelled corn "with vitamins and minerals" is a new one on me. Anyway, as for cattle, the 'sweet feed" pellet is usually full of fillers and grain by-products which are cost cutters thus it's cheaper. Corn on the other hand is good energy and low protein. If you're feeding smalls steers or heifers the shelled corn will work as they will take time to chew it. Grown cattle usually just inhale the stuff, wet it, swallow it and then "plant it" all over your pasture. Very little of it ever gets cracked and utilized. Price chopped or fine ground corn if you're feeding cattle. But don't overfeed it. [/QUOTE]
