	Feedlot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A feedlot or feedyard is a type of concentrated animal feeding operation (CAFO) which is used for fattening livestock, notably beefcattle, prior to slaughter.
		Prior to entering a feedlot, cattle spend most of their life grazing on rangeland or on immature fields of grain such as wheat pasture.
		Feedlot diets are usually very dense in food energy, to encourage the deposition of fat, or marbling, in the animal's muscles; this fat is desirable as it leads to 'juiciness' in the resulting meat.

	OPEN FEEDLOT RUNOFF HOME STUDY LESSON (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Runoff from feedlots is of concern because it transports soil and/or animal manure.
		The amount and composition of runoff from a feedlot are affected by many factors, including precipitation, drainage area, feedlot size and slope, animal density, and whether the feedlot is paved or not.
		The runoff from the feedlot is all channeled toward the settling basin, where it is contained and held long enough for the solids to settle.

		While this is labor intensive for feedlots, it does indicate that pen cleaning as frequently as feasible for your specific operation is good management.
		Feedlot operators should have an adequate land base to spread their manure.
		The primary goals of runoff management are to divert water from flowing across the feedlot or storage area, and to prevent direct runoff from the feedlot or the stockpiled manure into waterways.

	The Food Revolution
		Feedlot beef as we know it today would be impossible if it weren't for the routine and continual feeding of antibiotics to these animals.
		When cattle are taken off grass, though, and shipped to a feedlot to be fattened on grain, they immediately begin losing the omega-3s they have stored in their tissues.
		If they are taken to a conventional slaughterhouse, they are just as likely as a feedlot animal to be skinned while alive and fully conscious, and just as apt to be butchered and have their feet cut off while they are still breathing - distressing realities that tragically occur every hour in meat-packing plants nationwide.

		She reports that "The level of dust on feedlots can be high, which springs the cattle's immune system into action and keeps it running on a constant basis." She has found that many of the respiratory deaths in feedlot cattle can be attributed to dust pneumonia.

		Gain efficiency was similar between LGW and NR steers and greater (P<.05) than HGW steers during the first 50 d of the feedlot phase. However, gain efficiency of all treatments was similar after 50 d, whereas when expressed across the entire feeding period, gain efficiency did not differ (P>.05) among treatment groups.
