Feedlot Operations

Feedlot operations are agricultural facilities where cattle are brought to be quickly raised and fattened before slaughter. Cattle are housed in large, open pens and fed a carefully managed diet, typically consisting of grains and supplements, to promote rapid growth. The goal is to efficiently convert feed into body weight, producing meat with desired qualities. Proper management ensures animal health, safety, and environmental responsibility, making feedlots a key part of beef production in a controlled, systematic process aimed at delivering quality meat to consumers.
