Green Corn for Fattening Steers.
As soon as the grain of corn gets into the milk it becomes highly serviceable in hastening the fattening of steers in pasture. These may be fed at the rate of ten to twenty ears per day, according to the size of the animals. It is contended that this corn also adds to the quality of the beef slaughtered early in autumn, and that it is of more solid character than such as is pure grass fed. If the steers are to be kept later on into winter, then this soft, green corn is an excellent preparation to be followed up by feeding such as has then fully ripened and become hard. After steers have attained sufficient size, it is quite an object to fatten them as rapidly as possible, and this is done quicker in mild weather than in cold with the same quantity of food.—A. B. Allen in Live Stock Journal.

Green corn in the milk stage hastens fattening of pasture steers at 10-20 ears per day, improves autumn beef quality over grass-fed, prepares for winter hard corn feeding, and fattens faster in mild weather.
