For the past few weeks, we have been moving and rotating cows on corn stalks for the winter. Many ranchers do this to fatten cows up and prepare them for the cold months. However, in the past few years, I’ve noticed that the cows just aren't getting enough. We have to put out more and more feed for them every year. That wasn't a problem 10 years ago, so I decided to do some research. It turns out that corn stalks no longer offer the same nutritional value they used to.
