Where do cattle go before going to the slaughter house?
Depends on what stage you want to start with. If you mean after they leave the cow, or are weaned, they are backgrounded in pasture or a drylot with a high forage ration so they can grow without putting too much fat on too fast. After they reach a good weight, they go to the feedlot to be fattened on grain. Once they have reached target weight in the feedlot, they are sent to the slaughterhouse via cattle trailer and butchered.

What are the disadvantages of the Jersey Cattle?
Jerseys are small, slow to mature and slow growth rate, and cows are prone to mastitis, ketosis and milk fever. Jersey steers can be fattened up for beef, but because of their slow maturity and growth rate, they are inefficient at being grown for beef unlike the real beef cattle are, and have much higher cutability than beef breeds like Angus or Charolais do. Jersey calves also need intensive management in order to live and survive; they cannot survive in an extensive-type operation where they only have their dams to defend them. In addition to this, Jersey cattle tend to do much poorly on medium to poor quality forages than beef cattle do.
