Dad fed between 35 to 45 head of beef cattle each year, He picked between 7000-8000 bushels of ear corn each fall and put it in the crib, and each Saturday I'd get to scoop 100+ bushel into the Knoedler burr mill and it augered into the enclosed cattle feeder we fed them out of. Plus we made 60 acres of alfalfa hay every summer, 3 cuttings on 20 acres, plenty for 4-5 bales every night in the stanctions in the back barn where the cattle slept. We always had a steer butchered, half for Us, half for the Land-lady who owned the farm. Dad eventually worked up a nice profitable business selling sides of beef on the hoof to people who much preferred the taste of our corn fed beef over the grass fed meat from most grocery stores and butcher shops. We had probably a dozen people buy cattle to butcher, they would pay Top price from the Chicago Stockyards for fat cattle the Day Dad delivered them to the slaughter house. The corn fed beef has more fat marbelled into it and that's where the flavor comes from. And don't knock it till you've tried it.
A good friend fed 10-12 cattle with ground earcorn also, only had 22 acres to raise corn on, lot of work putting his New Idea mounted picker on his D-17, He had a Deere 4400 combine to cut a few acres of oates, plus his 22 acres of beans from his Corn-corn-beans crop rotation. We had steaks on the grill there one night. There was that same great taste of corn-fed beef Mom cooked for supper most nights. I asked if we could buy a half of a half or something similar, I asked several times in fact, no response, so I stopped asking.
Yep, animals used for meat production Are what they Eat. Our hogs mostly ate finely ground shell corn, mixed with some meat scraps for flavor, commercial feed for minerals and vitamins, I'd get 5500# loads 2-3 times a week from late winter to mid-fall, We'd have the feedmill deliver via truck in winter, but that cost more than MY time and the 2-3 gallons of gas to go the 4-1/2 to 5 miles to town with a tractor & auger wagon. We never butcher a hog, no idea how our hogs tasted compared to grocery store pork.
