Can cows pick up kernel corn?

[buzzbait]

Here is my son this past weekend throwing rocks at the horses that found our corn.

Didn't think they could, but they emptied Coke cases buried flush with the ground down on the Navasota River back when I hunted down there.

Feed pens may slow them down, but don't stop them either!!

Now that would make me MAD!

Hate seeing cows while hunting. They roam our lease but havnt been a nuisance this year!

I had a show calf that would separate the supplement from the oats and corn that was in his feed. I don't know how he did it but he did. So yes, I think they can eat corn no problem.

Guess it depends on how well the rancher feeds them.

Where I hunt no problems but once.

I have hog panels, sixteen of hem.

One heffer jumped in and only looked at the camera.

Put her butt on the camera , never went to the feeder ???????

Got a picture of her jumping out.

Only happened once.

My land owner got a good laugh out of the pictures.

Cows on our place will stay till every single kernel of corn is gone I mean every single kernel of corn!!!!!!

When I had a lease ( for 18 years ) the cows gave me hell the first year. Got it late and was unprepared for them. That next spring, I built feeder pens from cattle panels and sucker rod with 2" pipe corners. They were portable. The panels simply hooked into pieces of conduit welded onto the 2" pipe. The pipe corners were designed to be driven into the ground about 6"" for a little more stability with a plate welded on to stop at ground level. Blew a hole in the plate to drive a 2' sucker rod into for more stability. The bottom of the panel was 16" to 18" off the ground so deer could crawl under and they had no problem jumping it either. They last forever. I moved a couple of these pens over the years with just my wife to help. Just took it apart, hooked all the panels over my hitch knob and dragged them to a new location. Once two panels were hooked together at a corner, it was easy to put together. Used a sledge hammer to drive the corners into the ground. If it was dry, sometimes they wouldn't drive all the way, but after the next rain, tapped them down and all was well. End of cow problem.

Don't know, but I would not bet against the cow. A sticky tongue could probably get the job done.

Ahhhh, a sticky tongue could solve a lot of problems.

Ahhhh, a sticky tongue could solve a lot of problems.

I'm glad SHE said that.

I've watched my fair share of cows clean up every kernel spread by a feeder on more than a few occasions, which is the reason I don't hunt our feeders anymore. Cattle on out place won't really follow me to the stand, and I hunt back in the woods and hand corn.


For the record, I'm not against having cows on the property, but I do think that there should be a gate set up to where you can keep them out of the hunting areas during season.
