corn feed

Livestock maize meal

Corn feed is grain—primarily corn—used as livestock food, especially for cattle, pigs, and poultry.

The term also refers to a social gathering centered on eating corn, particularly corn on the cob: The church is hosting a corn feed next Saturday.

Such events are regional traditions in the American Midwest and rural communities.
