Hmm, Bob, I was raised on a farm -- we had both cows and corn. But for some
reason the cows were never near the corn patch. Perhaps they weren't
allowed for that very reason. :-)

I do recall tee-pees of corn fodder in an area, and a building full of corn
cobs, but I'm trying to remember who ate this corn, who it was fed to, and
if the cows were actually eating the corn fodder. I do not remember! Not
that I'm getting Alzheimer's, I was on this farm thru 7th grade, but I'll be
darned if I remember those particulars.
