Just finished filling the crib last week! Thought I was the only one left using ear corn. Ear corn is a safe feed that has a lot of fiber, you won't need to add hulls or pulp. Using a commercial protein pellet, and a little whole oats for pa latability, you can make a very economical feed that naturally buffers the rumen. Sometimes, you may have add straight corn to give enough power if time is against you. I would hate to guess the number of scoop shovels of ear corn have been fed at Waukaru to steers.
