Best Answer

Beef cattle are usually grazed in pastures, fields or native rangelands. The type of country varies their grazing diet, and they are usually brought in to paddocks in feedlots for fattening up on grains prior to being sold for slaughter. In Japan, cattle are hand fed in stalls and regularly massaged by their owners in order to produce the most expensive and arguably best beef in the world which is called Kobe beef.
