This was taken at the Palette @ NTU near the front counter. Depending on how you take the phrase, it could mean that the corn was fed to tenderness (Poor cows), or the Cows were fed corn till they were tender (which still does sound wrong, so a better paraphrase would be the cows were fed corn thus they were tender.) This is due to the fact that the words corn and fed can be taken together to mean an adjective to describe the elliped noun of cow, or they can be taken separately as corn (a noun) and fed (a verb) to mean the former meaning.
A similar example can be seen here in the second picture. Depending on if we take the word horny to be an adjective or part of the head noun in the noun phrase in the picture, would it then be describing the Goat Weed as Horny (which would be rather amusing since...an asexual object usually would not be described that way) or as a type of Goat Weed instead? :)
