∙ 11y agoLivestock are much more prone to threats of predation from Nature's predators than if they were in a barn. Also, having them out foraging on their own isn't always in the best interests of the animals, especially if what they're foraging for doesn't have the greatest nutritional value. You still need to feed the animals anyway, regardless. You also cannot deny free-range animals access to shelter or even not keep them in a barn, coop or shed at night if you don't want them to be killed off by predators.
Free-range is for a lot of people still a misnomer, because animals that are raised on confined animal feeding operations (so-called "factory farms") are still or still choose to live in a barn where they feel safest, and the pen outside that is supposed to let them roam free often gets used not at all.
