feedlot

Together, farms like these confine over 1.7 billion farm animals in large buildings or feedlots and produce 941 billion pounds of manure, according to a report by Food and Water Watch.

The next stop is a feedlot, where cattle are fed an energy-rich diet of grains and corn, designed to make them grow as efficiently as possible.

If more people could do what we both had the chance to do, which is go to a slaughter plant and go to a feedlot, It would change everything about how people eat meat.

Unlike cattle at feedlots, the breeding cow population, especially on rangelands in California and other western states, live largely "wild" lives and are rarely handled, save for vaccinations and weaning.

Although the Panhandle has more than 85% of the state’s herd, most are in feedlots and dairies that were not damaged.
