I would not say corn is mothers natures perfect feed. Nothing eats corn and soy naturally. We just feed corn and soy because it is a cheap supplement that produces desired results in a shorter time.
We feed grain to dogs and cats because it is cheap. We feed grain to horses so we can work them harder. We feed grain to milk cows so they will produce way more milk than their body can handle. We feed grain to cows; pigs and chickens to get them to market faster. Notice none of these say because it is better for the animal.
The problem comes in when we over feed corn to cows. We see corn in the manure so we feel the cow is not digesting all of the corn. So we grind the corn. This just causes the corn to ferment quicker and the rumen stops working properly. And the real problem was we were over feeding the corn.
It is a proven fact that cows will have digestive problems like founder and acidosis if corn is not managed properly. And grinding the corn just makes the problem worse. A cow will never have digestive problem on their natural food "Grass".

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
