Okay, this has probably been asked a hundred times, but... is it okay to give my show cattle marshmallows as treats? I’ve been doing it for a while (IN MODERATION) simply because they’re cheap and encourage our calves to come up and be sociable, especially when we have people come and want to mess with them. I also use it to help me get a new calf close to me, as a reward. Recently I’ve been told that it was super dangerous. Is it okay to use? Also, what else would you feed them that is cheap and safe?

You've seen a gentle cow come running for a feed bucket being shaken, right? They usually go for the bucket when they play. A cow that has been fed out of your hand is going to go for you. At least that's the logic behind it being dangerous.
