Through extensive research I found this to be untrue. In an article written by Ryan Goodman on this specific topic Goodman wrote, “Cattle recieve forages as a large portion of their diet. This is important to help their stomachs grow and develop properly. However, forages do not provide the high amount of digestible amount of energy these cattle need to grow quickly.” (3) Ryan also talks about how, “An excess amount of forage can cause other issues for the animals.”(3) Cattle just like humans can very well digest the nutrients in corn.
