Here is a link to a spec sheet

http://www.cenex.com/~/media/cenex/files/lubricants/cornhead%20grease/corn%=
20head%20grease_pds-h9-02.ashx

Not being from an agricultural background I had no idea what people were
talking about when mentioning 'Corn Head Grease'. For others who may be
similarly in a state of ignorance it appears that a Corn Head is a large
piece of agricultural equipment that gets attached to an even larger
combine harvester. Various gears are very much in evidence and this grease
is what is recommended to lubricate them. It isn't made from the heads of
corn!

Seems to be a similar consistency to Penrite lube.
