So, why are cows eating candy? Due to the worst drought in about 50 years, prices of corn are incredibly high. Brokers are gathering discarded food and selling them at low prices to dairy farms and feed lots. That leaves cows, our milk-and-meat sources, with a diet that a hyper six year old kid would kill for. Ki Fanning, a nutritionist with Great Plans Livestock Consulting, said:
Everybody is looking for alternatives. Its kind of funny the first time you see it but it works well. The big advantage to that is you can turn something you normally throw away into something that can be consumed. The amazing thing about a ruminant, a cow, you can take those type of ingredients and turn them into food.
