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.

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.
They are raised on either family farms or feedlots.
