IMHO they are NOT more aggressive than normal corns.

They have a faster growth rate and therefore a higher metabolism and therefore want to eat more.



While there surely are exceptions, I suspect most of the aggressive okeetees are just plain hungry. Feed them more than run-of-the-mill corns and they will be just as sweet as any corn, as well as grow faster.



My experience with corns is somewhat limited - but I really suspect the grouchy okeetee's often are just plain hungry.
