In the mean time, I'll agree with my friend skyhigh (never thought I'd say that). Cows don't like corn. It's not good for them. Their stomachs were designed for grass. Grass fed cows are happy cows. They taste better too.
In my 10 years as a 4-H member raising beef steers, I never had one turn away from the feed. The cow's 4 stomachs were designed to eat just about anything. That's why cows can eat so many types of foods, compared to horses, they are pretty sensative to what they eat.
My father-in-law raises beef for commecial sale, not a huge operation, just 50 head of cows, so 50 fat-cattle at any time, plus the next years fat-cattle just being born. We split 1/4-1/2 beef with him, and some other family and friends, and it is by far some of the better meat I've had. I don't know about the cholesterol levels, etc..., but I do know that they aren't as greasy when you prepare any of the store bought stuff. This thread is making me hungry
