No. While the two plants may appear similar from a distance, they are two different species. Cow corn (usually called "field corn" or "dent corn") has its seed on an ear that is partway up the plant, just like sweet corn on the cob. Sorghum is another member of the grass family like corn, but has its seeds in a "spray" or inflorescence at the top of the plant where corn would have only its tassel.
Usually it's called "field corn." It's a cultivar of corn grown predominantly for livestock feed, but also for ethanol production.
One "cow corn" plant--more properly called field corn--plant will often have two to three ears on it.
you got it the other way round, the corn makes the cow
It's not that easy to take account how much corn the cow ate, other than going into the corn field, finding the tracks and tracking the cow from the point where she entered the field to the point where she came out--or were forced out.
ok.. what is cow corn? I have made corn for decades... Can we assume field corn? For cattle, we let it dry before collecting. Around 12% is awesome. For humans, we do not eat field corn.
"Cow Corn" or animal feed is simply corn that is harvested later than sweet corn. "Cow Corn" is then dried and used for animal feed, or used in ethanol. Field corn is a far less sweet for of corn and is not the same as sweet corn. It has more carbohydrates and is grown differently. Most corn will grow only one ear per stalk. Newer hybrids of field corn can grow two or three ears per stalk. It has a far drier taste then sweet corn.
Eating the cow will give you plenty of protein and other nutrients found in meat that corn does not provide.
Corn is high in energy and protein which helps the steer gain weight faster. Feed that is higher in energy than a cow needs for maintenance stores this as fat. This is what helps steers gain weight quickly and is also what is commonly called as "fattening."
Oink!
A calf. Small cows can also be called just small cows, particularly if they are a miniature breed.
A cull cow. She can also be called a free-loader, a barren cow, an old cow, etc., but cull cow is the best term to use because cows that can no longer have a calf is one that no longer needs to be a part of the more productive cow-herd.
Corned beef is a cow that was only fed corn.
