The sale of cattle that have been fattened and are ready to be butchered.
Feedlots have large corrals that contain a lot of cattle that are fattened before being sold to slaughter plants.
The feeding of grain to cattle is unique to the United States. Americans and an increasing number of international consumers have developed a taste for American grain-fed beef, as opposed to beef cattle fattened on grass only.
Regardless of what you're feeding them, the general rule of thumb for fattening cattle is that you must have feed that is high quality (as in high in protein and energy), ad libitum access to loose salt-mineral and water, and good herd health management, especially for those cattle being finished on grain.Grain-fed cattle can be fattened until they are around 18 to 20 months of age, but grass-fed cattle must be fattened until they are at least 24 months of age, but no more than 30 months.
Beef cattle are fattened up before slaughter because it not only increases muscle mass which makes for larger steaks and more meat made available, but marbling, taste and tenderness through increased fat deposition within the muscle tissue. Beef which is too lean is often too tough and stringy, and even too strong a beefy flavour for some who prefer their meat to be more bland.
If they are dairy cows, then its called dairy farming. If they are for beef, then its called "beef farming" or, with extensive operations, "ranching," especially in the USA and Canada. Cattle raised on an operation where the main purpose is to fatten them up in preparation for slaughter are raised on a feedlot; the name for the way cattle are fattened up in the feedlot is called "finishing" or "fattening."
A bawn is a cattle-fort - a building used to shelter cattle, or a defensive wall around a tower house.
That's not true, many livestock can definitely eat barley. Many Canadian cattle fattened up in the feedlot are more often fed barley grain and silage than corn.
