My wife is reading a book and one of the characters states that the only thing a particular cow is good for is "corning".
Since said cow is old, toothless, no good for milk or meat, what in the Sam Hill is "corning"?
It isn't corning as in "corned beef", it isn't corning as in "throwing hard corn kernels at cars or animals" and it darned sure isn't corning as in "-ware"!
This is the first time in a half century neither one of us has been able to garner meaning from context.
Any ideas?

Like making "corned" beef
We were in the meat business for 26 years and you corn beef because it is old or tough and needs to be tenderized or it may be useless (now you know why there is corned beef). A couple more tips about beef. You always heard not to refreeze meat after it has been thawed. BALONEY!!!! REfreeze it at least 3 times and it will be tender. Also, when you kill beef for the freezer, let it hang in the cooler for 6 weeks until it molds on the outside then wash the mold off, cut it and wrap it for the freezer. It will be the most tender beef you ever had. Most old cows are not good for anything but hamburger or corning and LAST, we found that the most flavorful beef is actually a breed of dairy beef, not beef cattle...it's Jersey beef.

Have to agree with the Jersey comment. We used to buy a few Jersey Bobby calves each year cheap, sometimes free, fatten them for 12-18 months then do a home kill. Jersey cows are one of NZ’s most common milkers.

Sadly, we don't see as many of them in the US as we used to.
