What do Angus ranchers feed their cattle Do they add hormones?
Depends on the ranchers themselves and what market they are targeting, and what cattle they're feeding. Cattle fed on a feedlot diet (which comprises of 97% of the finisher/backgrounding herd in the USA) are not fed hormones, but are given growth hormones via implants in the ears. Heifers, on the other hand, are fed hormones to keep them from going into heat all the time. Angus cattle on such a diet are fed primarily corn-grain-silage mixture to fatten them up prior to slaughter.
How often are beef cattle fed in factory farm?
On a so-called "factory farm," otherwise known as a feedlot, beefers are often fed twice a day on a planned, "restricted" diet known as "full feed," which is another word for a group of cattle being fed so much per feeding so that they clean up the bunk and leave almost nothing behind until the next feeding. Cattle are fed early morning and late afternoon.

What is fed to beef cattle?
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.
Can beef cattle have a diet of strictly hay?
Yes, but it depends on the quality of the hay and the type of cattle you are feeding. If you are feeding dry brood cows medium-quality hay is good enough to feed them. Younger stock like weaner calves and heifers need a bit higher quality hay and maybe supplementation if they need it. Lactating cows need higher quality hay and feed to keep up with the demands of their calf.
What is the traditional beef cattle fattening system?
Beef cattle are fattened for slaughter by feeding them a diet high in energy for the last three to four months of their lives. They are often confined to a small area to reduce movement from feeding station to watering station and to help them get fatter quicker to be sold for a higher price. Before they are finished in the feedlot, they were on pasture from birth until they were at a right age and weight to be put on the finishing ration.
What is the average daily weight gain of cattle from birth to a slaughter weight of 1100 to 1200 pounds?
It depends on the diet of the cow, the birth weight and the live weight at slaughter. A typical steer on a grain diet in a feedlot will reach 1100 lbs in 15 months. He might start out with a birth weight of 85 lbs (ranging from 65-110 lbs). So his average daily gain from birth to slaughter would be 2.25 lbs. On a forage diet, it may take 18-24 months to reach 1100 lbs.
