Beef cattle
Beef cattle are domesticated cows raised primarily for meat production. They live on farms or ranches where they are bred and managed for their muscle growth, providing beef consumed worldwide. These animals are typically raised over several months or years, with nutrition and health carefully monitored to optimize quality. Different breeds have specific traits suited for meat production, such as size and muscle development. Beef cattle are an important part of agriculture, contributing to food supply and economies globally, while also requiring sustainable management practices to ensure animal welfare and environmental health.
