The corn "syrup" is a by-product of the ethanol industry. It is liquid feed with energy about like ground corn and is about 20-24% protein. It also has a smell cows like, and blends well in a mixed ration- a bit like salad dressing. The best part is it is very cheap.
The bad part is it is difficult to handle. It comes hot (130 degrees or so) and is very thin, but thickens as it cools. So we store it in an insulated tank, and pump it with a molasses pump. Despite that, it can still be interesting in the winter! The handling difficulty is why it is cheap- not everyone wants to deal with the stuff. Oftentimes if something goes bad, I have to remind myself of the economics behind it.
Because it is low priced, it does attract some customers that would fall into a certain crowd (willing to cut most ANY corner to save a buck). Many a truck driver has commented about some of them- and so has Tom's son, to him. Some are scary places.
In our feed rations, syrup can be 2-8 % of the total feed. At low rates, it is a big positive- tastes good, lots of good nutrients, and I pay little more than freight. Like anything though, you can over do it. IF you ate nothing but salad dressing, you might imagine... ;)

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Black Tire Paint - by Staff. I have been fortunate in that two of my tractors have had rear tires that were in great shape when I bought the tractor. My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
