How Are Cattle Cared for at a Feedlot?
Rating
0.0 stars

Canadians are in the top ten in the world for per capita beef consumption. We are also in the top ten for exporters of beef to other countries. And while beef is produced in every province, guess which is the leader? Alberta. Alberta and beef go together like nothing else in the country and it shows with a dominant 41 percent of all Canadian beef being raised in the province. In southern Alberta, one area around Lethbridge stands out as the capital of feedlots. It’s why we thought there was no better place to take a look at what a large beef feedlot looks like, how animals are raised and what they eat than with Megan at her family’s feedlot in this farm tour.

Rating
0.0 stars

Land makes up twenty-nine percent of the Earth's surface and of that, thirty-eight percent is used within the agricultural industry. They are split into two categories. They are arable land, which is used for crop production, and marginal land which is unfit for crop production but great to raise livestock like cattle and other ruminants who can navigate the terrain.
