Feedlot

A feedlot is a type of farm where cattle are gathered in a confined area to be fed intensive diets aimed at rapid growth and fattening before slaughter. It’s a controlled environment that provides high-energy feed, such as grains, to optimize weight gain efficiently. Feedlots allow for easier management, monitoring, and processing of large numbers of animals, reducing the time and resources needed to produce meat. They are commonly used in beef production to ensure consistent quality and supply, making the process more economical and scalable for producers.
