How much of their lives do cattle spend grazing on pasture?
Cattle spend the majority of their lives grazing in pastures. Grain-fed cattle typically spend just four to six months on a feedlot and careful consideration is given to the feedlot’s design and operation. At all stages of cattle production, beef producers provide an environment that is ideal for animal well-being. Healthy, well-treated animals ultimately yield better results, so raising cattle in good conditions not only makes good business sense, but also helps to protect the environment.
