Correct, non factor.

All corn grown in the USA is suited/ approved/ etc for all livestock/ human consumption.

Is it possible some minerals were added to the corn that are breed specific, selenium or copper or some such which wasn't food grade but feed grade, and not good for certain critters?

Otherwise that label really makes no sense.

Just an FYI...that isn't cheap. Oldest trick in the book is to take the same product that is sold to high-volume-but-razor-thin-margin markets and repackage it and label it specialty markets. Or sell it by different weight in same sized looking bag to folks who are bad at math or can't read. Makes me feel sorry for equine folks. Do we really think brokers are scouring the U.S.A. looking for bad corn to market as "cheap" deer corn? I wonder how much the "bone collector" deer corn sells for?

Most of those deer corn feed bags are 40lb bags.
