No. The amount of feed fed to cattle has nothing to do with change in seasons. The amount of feed fed to dairy cows is the same regardless of change in the seasons.

This depends on your area and what type of cattle you are feeding. Beef and dairy cattle will eat different types of food as will mature bulls, yearlings, dry cows, and pregnant cattle. Dairy cattle are usually fed a TMR (Total Mixed Ration) consisting of soy beans, corn, and hay. Dairy calves are fed a calf starter ( a grain that is high in protein to aid growth and digestion). Yearlings will eat a corn mixture usually with oats to aid in healthy digestion and growth. Again, this changes for each location and what the farmer seems fit to feed the cattle. Growing feedlot beef cattle will eat a high energy corn for an increase of weight gain. Dry females and pregnant females will usually eat silage, insilage, some farmers will feed dry cattle a specific ration that costs more.
No one. Dairy cattle where merely selected through the process of artificial selection from ancient breeds like the Celtic Shorthorn and the Aurochs, to produce more milk than what is needed to feed a calf.
Dairy farming is concentrated along the coast due to milder climates, which are beneficial for dairy cattle. Coastal areas often have access to reliable water sources and fertile land that can support growing feed crops for the cattle. Additionally, proximity to ports allows for easy transportation of dairy products to markets.

Cattle farms produce primarily through the raising of cattle for beef or dairy. Beef cattle are raised to reach market weight, while dairy cattle are bred and maintained for milk production. Farmers manage pastureland, provide feed, and ensure proper health care to optimize growth and production. Additionally, they may implement breeding programs to enhance desirable traits in their livestock.
