Thank you for the welcome. My mom has lived in TV for 25 years so I am familiar with the lifestyle.

Corn silage is chopped up before the corn has fully matured. Stalk is cut off a few inches above the ground and the entire plant is chopped into silage.

Not sure why the OP would object to this but to each their own.
To understand the corn problem, you need an open mind with which to read a book by Dr Steven Gundry. You could google him and he has been documented by history channel or Nat Geographic.

I kind of like this thread learned something about how cows are fed.

Not a lot to do right now

Silage is almost always corn in the south. Most of the corn you see growing in the south is for cattle feed.

Default Grass Fed Beef

I have to add my 2 cents. I grew up on a farm in Michigan. We had both dairy and beef cattle. We didn't have a silo, but we had a corn and oats mix ground into a powder we called chop. Only the dairy cows got the grain (chop). The beef cattle ate the grass in the pasture. When the buyer came around to buy the beef steers, my Dad would tell him he fed them grain regularly, to which the buyer told my Dad he was full of BS cuz those steers never saw a spec of grain (they didn't). The reason my Dad claimed they were fed grain was because the buyer paid more for grain fed beef. That's what makes me laugh now at all this "grass fed" craze. My Dad would have loved it, getting paid more for grass fed beef.

We lived in the country in TN until recently. I raised horses and my neighbors raise cows. About once a year we bought one of my neighbors cows. We then kept it in a pen and fed it hay (for fiber) and LOT of corn for about 3 weeks prior to slaughter. Best beef around if you ask me.
