Corned beef is from cows that have been raised in corn fields. They graze
on the corn and get fattened and ready for slaughter. In the fall, just
before the harvest, the cattle are rounded up. Unlike the cattle graving in
grasslands of the prairies, the corned beef are difficult to see because of
the height of the stalks. A specially trained dog, usually referred to as a
corn dog, assists in the roundup. They scurry around moving the cattle
towards the barns.

It is also of note that some of the females are milkers. They are different
than the cows you seen at a regular dairy farm in that their udders are not
exposed to the sun where they get bleached and give only white milk. The
corn stalks protects them from the harmful UV rays so they can give
chocolate milk.

Cattle, just like people, have different characteristics depending on their
diet. The old saying "you are what you eat" applies in the animal kingdom
also. Tomorrow, we'll learn about hamburgers and hush puppies..
