Nichols Feed Lots

With Halloween just around the corner, eating candy (or maybe trying to avoid eating it) is on everyone’s mind. Did you know that cattle can eat candy too? The starch and sugar in corn makes up a large part of a feed ration so leftover candy, bound for a landfill, can be eaten by cattle just like corn. This is a win-win for candy companies, cattle feeders, and the environment. Cattle help eliminate food waste by upcycling products that would otherwise end up in a landfill and convert them into a delicious and high-protein product, beef! Cattle really are amazing.
