Cattle are not fed beef. Their high protein portions come from corn and corn by-products such as dry distiller’s corn.

Dairy cows, when producing milk, take in about fifty lbs of corn (sileage) a day in addition to the grass that they eat.

Holy cow! Did you say fifty pound of corn per day? Please tell me you didn’t say that. That’s about twice their entire dietary intake of dry food.
