There really is no set limit or guidelines as to how far away from your house cattle should be fed. You can feed them as close or as far away from your house as you want.

Why is it more efficient when cows are kept in sheds?

It really isn't, if you stop and think about it. It takes more fuel, labour, feed and fertilizer to grow, harvest, store and bring feed to cattle that are kept indoors than it does to just let the cows do the work themselves. Sure it takes less land to feed X number of cows in a feedlot versus grazing the same number of cows in a pasture environment as far as efficiency in land use is concerned, but it's not efficient as far as labour, fuel, feed and fertilizer costs are concerned. It's also inefficient when you have to use equipment (fuel and labour) to clean out the manure that has accumulated in the sheds every year. But to answer your question, it's because you can hold a larger number of animals on a smaller piece of land and feed them higher-quality feeds in an intensive CAFO operation than you can with a pasture/grass-fed operation.


When is the 3 most important times of the year when cows must receive the best quality feed to prevent ill health?

This sounds like a homework question, but in reality, the best times of the year to feed cows the best quality feed to prevent ill health is irrelevant to good herd health. What IS relevant is a good vaccination program, a good mineral program, and great pasture management. For areas that rely on feed to sustain cattle for a certain period, quality of feed is important, but only if it's needed. If you have thin cows, feed that is high in quality is very important to help them gain weight during the winter months, otherwise you will get cattle that will die of literal starvation or mineral or vitamin deficiency. With fat cows though, it's best if you have low-quality feed like straw so that it helps them loose weight over winter. Now, as far as best quality feed, in most cases the quality of feed that you feed your cows depends on their reproductive stage and their body condition scores. Cows that are lactating need higher quality feed, especially 2 to 3 months after giving birth, to meet their highest lactation needs. After that it decreases, and won't see an increase until they're in their third gestation period.
