| Cows Eating Candy: Milk Chocolate, perhaps? |
Now the cows are eating sweets?
Since the price of corn and other basic food staples has gone so far up, cattle farmers need a cheaper food stuff to fatten their livestock for the slaughter.
Nick Smith of United Livestock Commodities hit on a brilliant and economical idea. He is feeding his cows candy corn!
The alternative is cheap yet fattens up the cattle really fast.
Paul Cameron of California Cattleman's Association called the move "awfully creative", and who can blame him?
I'm sure the cows like the break from the run-of-the-mill corn on the cob which they had been eating for so long.
Just think — now these cows will have a taste of why kids go out and get "fattened up" during Halloween.
I hate to think of what they prices will be when the witches, goblins, and second graders come out to play!
