Why are most feedlots in the US located in the Midwest?
Most feedlots are located in the Midwest of the US because the Midwest is known as the "Corn Belt" because this is a prime area for growing and harvesting corn. Since transportation costs are real, it's easier and cheaper to have feedlots located close to where these forage/fodder/feed crops are grown to reduce transport costs and time to get the feed shipped to these feedlots. Also, feedlots are operated much like a hotel, there's always groups of cattle that are going to stay in one area for a set period of time (four to five months) then moved out, the pens cleaned, then a new group coming in soon after. Thus, feed has to be ready to be had so that rations can be mixed and fed to these animals.
