Feedlot Cattle Fattened on Gummy Bears
By Monica @ 8:37 AM PermaLink

Sometimes fact truly is stranger than fiction. I'd heard this rumor before but had no documentation to back it up. But according to Associate Professor and Extension Nutritionist, Department of Dairy Science at University of Wisconsin, it's true. Feedlot milk cows may actually be fed up to 7 pounds of candy per day.

Unbelievable. No wonder they have such a short lifespan.

It's disgusting.

Here's an article about it from the Denver post in 2007: Sky-high corn means hogs get candy and from The Daily Green in 2008: Junk Food In, Junk Food Out.
