Cooking corn for calf feed

[kndcattle]

Has anyone done much of cooking corn in like a crock pot to feed their calves. I saw a post on here about it one time. Any advice about mixing instructions and cook time and temp would be great. Thanks.

Best deal is roaster, 1/2 full of corn, fill to top with water, medium on heat setting, takes about 8to 10 hrs, to do the job. Will stick a little, adjust the corn amount.  Adding a little cooking oil helps the sticking.

Softens the hull so the gut can digest it.

for my bull that I was feeding I used a 2 to 1 mix of water to corn in a crock pot on low for about 8 - 10 hrs I used a 32oz cup as my measuring device.  1 cup corn 2 water.  Worked pretty dang good.
