“Poor cows. Feedlots suck anyway. I only buy pasture-raised beef. Can’t feedlot people just turn the cattle out into the field? Or is it totally snow-covered?
“
The cattle have their rumens (stomachs) used to eating a highly tuned corn based diet .
Taking them off that suddenly would greatly harm them.
Who knew?
I buy grassfed beef from ranchers in Oregon who supply it to stores in Spokane. They do bring them into feedlots the last month to “improve the flavor.” It’s really good beef.
