Pigs are your best bet with all that corn - they convert feed to meat super efficiently and will happily eat whatever corn you've got plus kitchen scraps and forage if you rotate them on pasture (check out some good rotational systems at gearscouts.com if your interested in portable power for electric fencing).
Thanks for following up, I think we have decided around starting 2 hogs per year. Now we just have to figure out how to be smarter than the hogs with our fencing.
Glad to finally have a use for the 50 bushel of corn dust that falls around the dryer every year.
