Getting ready to add some corn to the current feed ration to put some fat on a heifer and hopefully add some depth of body and drop her flank a little bit. Was wondering which one is better? Whole corn, cooked corn or crack corn. Which one do you think I will have better results with?

If you're not going to cook it, cracked corn is the way to go.  If you ever care to look at a pile of cow crap, most of the corn in there is still whole, meaning that they can digest cracked corn better.  Its getting to be the wrong time of the year to feed a lot of cooked corn, it can make it harder to grow hair.
