- Cattle spend the first part of their lives on a range, where they are most commonly seen. Then they are transferred to giant industrial feedlots like this one.

This operation doesn't really bother me. It looks like it's being run very well.
I have seen feed lots that have horid, squalor conditions, with hundreds/thousands of cattle standing shoulder to shoulder in a foot of muck.
I would be more than willing to help regulate those places, but the ones in this video aren't bad at all.
Most, if not all the feedlots I’ve ever seen are pretty well run
I would bet money that the man who made this video was raised in the cities , knows nothing about cattle or farming.
So knowing about cattle farming changes the fact that cows have to be raped for dairy or slaughtered after they are no longer useful to the farmers?
@@karanpsrathore379 yup once you see how these farmers actually do it you will understand it all, also if you do not milk dairy cattle the get deiseases so... hate to break it to you. These cattle are treated better than some humans. They are trying to gain weight on them so they have pleanty of food and cattle are build different than humans so thy can stand the cold and the heat.
Ok I have worked on many feedlots. ... that government grain lol the local farmers sell the feedlot the corn. Plus the feedlots harvest there own crops. Plus them pits called lagoons that the manure runs into gets cleaned out regularly. They get pumped through pivots. Then there’s sediment basins. Thick shit. That gets cleaned out and spread on field has fertilizer. So not as much waste as you think. Also you give each critter 8 to 12 inches of bunk space for them to eat. That’s how you judge how many head of cattle u can put into your yards. You should really talk to ranchers farmers before u just start assuming. There are many responsibilities on feedlots, cowboys. They treat take care of the livestock they look for sick or lame cows then treat them with antibiotics. Processing crew, they brand the cattle as they first come in. Vaccines etc. feeders, that obviously should be clear they feed the critters. They have rations by weight. Then maintenance department. They fix maintain the yards, equipment etc. if it wasn’t for us we wouldn’t have much meat intake. Plus China buys most of our meat.
animal agriculture is the leading cause of climate change, deforestation, ocean dead zones, water pollution, fresh water use, inefficient land use, habitat loss, species extinction, etc.
Asu Toma what is wrong with you
Tanner Dozler completely agree with you he has no clue what he is saying and just talking shit
ASU Toma you tell me when that day comes because there’s nothing wrong with farming
@Ivan kingsman it would be so nice to have all cows pasture fed but some cows such as young calves cannot have grass there digestive system is not ready for it. And with all of this farm land used to feed vegans farmers don’t always have the opportunity to pasture feed their animals
These feedlots are also producing food for humans. If we raise animals on grazing they will get extinct. Grazing animals require lots of land.
Feedlots aren’t even common at all on my country yet they’re still here, not going extinct anytime soon.
@@glittermoon711 you aren’t gonna feed the world on open grazing. It takes the same amount of labor to raise one hundred pigs on a dirt lot as it does in a 2400 head hog confinement. We are not factory farms are just becoming innovative in our practice to feed the world and some people may not agree with what we are doing but yet we are the farmers and we know what we are doing. If they can’t understand why we roll the ball the way we do to feed the world then they need a mussel. Either way when they eat plants odds are that farmer that produces that had animals and he hauled there manure on them plants and that’s organic matter so there is no problem with it being spread on fields.
False
Nice looking animals and facilities. If you don't like the way things are being done on these feedlots then buy the animals yourselves and let them graze on the concrete of the cities you live in.
Well said angus rancher.
Pretty much all lies. He’s probably trying to figure out why they don’t just go to the grocery store for beef.
Too bad you do not understand feedlots. Just because there are a lot animals at a feed lot, I would not assume they were raised there. Do you see calves in this feedlots? How about calves with cows? How about calving barns? The steers (male bovines with testicles removed) in your video are all young adults, probably 18-20 months of age. Steers raised for food) take a couple years to grow. Feedlots are primarily used to "finish" the condition of the steers. Most steers are raised in pastures, on farms or ranches for about 1.5 years then sold and shipped to a feedlot company for several months of finishing. Before being shipped to a feedlot, most steers are raised on a mix of grass, alfalfa, some grain and insulage. They might be pastured spring, summer and fall then in a small feedlot over winter. Sometime they can live on a range most of their time. Most of the meat processing is done at regional processing plants, requiring transportation. As the trips dehydrate and stress the animals, they are usually dropped off at a feedlot to "finish" for up to a month or two. At the feed lot, they are graded and sorted for the meat market the owner wants to sell in. I personally do not like feedlots. I prefer grass fed animals from my own pasture.
Oh, but you forgot to mention that Corporate Beef is pumped up with antibiotics..I guess that is what you call “finishing”.
@@Coopsterish it is illegal in the states for an animal to be sold the the packing plant and butchered if it has antibiotics in its system the antibiotics have to be completely out of their system for that critter to be butchered
First off. A calfs first 7 months will typically be on pasture. This is not a cow/calf operation. This is a feedlot operation. Yes they are on dirt, why? You may ask. Because they're on a high energy diet, which is not grass. Do they produce alot of feces and urine? Yes, ofcourse they do. Because they eat, and drink. That's a perfectly normal cycle. I mean, if you don't shit and piss, so be it. You do you. But before you go and over dramatize a normal, infact efficient and successful operation. Try to understand it first. Have a nice day.
Right, we said these are feedlots in the video. Also yes, they go to the bathroom a lot, hence the massive waste pits. Thank you for agreeing with our video.
Get your facts before you go picking at people.
Agreed
My lord look at all the food!!!
This is one of the most biased, over dramatized things that I've ever watched. Cattle eats and drinks and eliminates......shocker.
Exactly
First off did you have permision to fly your drone over their land, if not that farmer could sue, you could have caused damage to the cattle dince they could have ate it which would be costly to treat
lol as if it was a secret
And if we were to fly over this guys house, we'd find out he lives with his mom, and does illicit drugs. I like how he talks about resources, if he was that good at managing his own, he wouldn't be on the internet crying over cows.
I agree with you but this comment made no sense 😂
Could you at least name where this is at and be somewhat helpful….or do you not know
I am in favor of the feed lots, how do you freeks expect to provide meat for those who want it
They should be grazing on pastures, not being crammed into feedlots to be fattened up! I only eat 100% pasture raised beef.
@@glittermoon711 it’s all a business, pasture grazing them takes longer, and you make more money doing a feedlot business
Americans love beef
gotta become morbidly obese somehow!
Do you want food in the world or not? It takes hard work to get your food on the damn table.
Thats why depopulation needs to happen, so there's more for everyone with less exploitation of our people, environment, and animals
There's other types of food that takes much less ressources. That might be a solution ;)
It doesn't need to happen like this though
Look Joel sallatin, Greg Judy, and especially Gabe brown
@@fups1 you first
How do they keep those cows from sharing disease and how do they manage which cows are sick or not and how do they collect the cows that have died in pasture
I work on a feed lot. All cattle are processed when received given any needed vaccines and lice protectant. Don’t worry the vaccines have a withdrawal period of 45 days tops it doesn’t enter the human food system. When a cow does die in a pen we use loaders (John Deere 544k) to get into the pen and either use a chain, or place them in the bucket where a veterinarian does an autopsy to figure out what happened so we can always implement change and improve for the quality of life of cattle and quality of meat you purchase.
And how do we manage cows that are sick? We have own riders that are highly trained that go pen to pen daily on horseback looking for any potential illness. They are all trained and certified by local veterinarians and veterinarian health boards in diagnosing and treating livestock illnesses.
Those are called buzzards.
And I bet you never had a hamburger
we should be focusing on the crueler farming practices and not this rn
Before going to TH-cam to form an opinion on an industry please talk to a local farmer or rancher to get the right answers to your questions
you will only get the rancher's/farmer's side of the story.
Where is this at
In which country is this farm?
Future farming is amazing
it really is a shame that these things exist but what else can you do
So where do want the cattle to go
Enough room not to stand in their feces and with grass to graze
@@Nikoleye00
Expand the world,or give people money to stop keeping them
To pastures, not to feedlots!
Such a dislikes attack on a simple brave corporate industry exposure.. *so that's just says it all - you're exposing something big here*
he is exposing nothing new people can drive by it an see whats going on there.
Kids with a drone trying to give their lives meaning and pay off the drone
they probably uploaded this video then when to Mcidies to have a quarter pounder
This person knows absolutely nothing.
I am a rancher in Montana. If you want to learn the truth please ask.
please cover more industries like this in brazil
Where is this??amazing
Harris Ranch
Easterday farms
Feed me then
I drove through Hereford yesterday. It was quite a chilling sight and the smell was something unholy. The lots I could see from Highway 60 were much more densely populated than in this video. It was a sea of black in the distance that I couldn't understand until I drove alongside.
I only see delicious beef
these farmers are the ones who feed the world . If these animals are well taken care of it is ok . Animals feelings are tatally different from human's.
An animal fells the danger the very moment he faces it not before not after .
no.. animal farmer starve the world. People starve in africa because some people eat meat. You have to feed the cow in order to make it grow. A lot of plants goes to waste when fed to a cow. Also animals feelings are the same, and animals feel 100% the same pain as we do. Because they suffer we shoudlnt kill them or abuse them as we do. Everyone deserve a happy life.
fool
So it's ok to kill someone as long as you take care of them beforehand, got it. I'll just go kill my children now because apparently it's morally justifiable because I've taken better care of them then some other parents have. In that case there are a lot of innocent people in jail right now that killed their wives and kids that they took care of previous to the crime commited.
@@undercava1 you haven’t seen a cow in person and it really shows
@@80slimshadys sorry bud buts not the same. Livestock is not the same. They don’t make food for themselves like we do they take food. That’s why humans can withstand increasing growth and cattle cannot because land damage would be too great
Your lucky this isn't my farm.
And this is not even one of the biggest, if you want to see cattle feeding on a truly awesome scale, search for Five Rivers Feedlots, they have a combined capacity of 920,000 head of cattle. Amazing what human ingenuity can create.
Those poor animals. They should be on pastures, not on feedlots!
@@glittermoon711 yeah good luck getting almost a million head on pasture.
Thank God for beef. But there are new methods to deal with all cow crap and actually use it for good. It'll just take a little bit of time some of them haven't caught up yet. Mostly because of money it takes millions of dollars to make refineries to deal with cow crap . It's all gonna work out
Go eat vegetables grown in chemicals I'll eat beef
Is there any place where I can find information on where those farms are located in the world, a list or map to get an idea of how big this industry is globally?
Thank you for trying to raise awareness by posting this video. I saw feedlots on my way down to Arizona through the Texas panhandle. It broke my heart to see it as there were miles of those farms. Humans can be cruel. Cows have emotions.
I am and always will be an Omnivore(like an animal) and I have not seen these types of feedlots. It's heartbreaking to see them like that! Just because I eat meat, it does not make me heartless!
Someone who is and always will be a criminal also has a heart, loves their kids, thinks they're a good person, etc.
If you're paying farmers to screw and slaughter innocent beings for some tongue fun you don't even need, since you can easily be a Herbivore(like an animal), then tell me how it's an act of the heart to cause harm unnecessarily?
Mercymurv some people don’t want to be completely herbivorous and they’re body is not yours to judge and it is not “easy” to become vegetarian you need to give up something that is nutritious and healthy for you and find alternatives to find another source of protein and vitamins.
These cows are so happy they are very well taken care of he’s just saying a bunch of crap
Maggie Rodenbucher nope
@@freanchy9826 That would actually make sense if animal products were actually healthy for a herbivore. If asbestos had vitmains and minerals would you eat that too?
This system is so messed up. So wrong, cruel, and downright evil. Hard for me to believe that most others don’t realize/see it this way.
This is what happens when Industry and MONEY replaces the farmer and the love for animals.
Watch dominion or earthlings documentaries here on youtube. They laugh and get off on torturing these animals.
we had those all over back in iowa, disgusting
thank you for sharing the truth!
Go vegan
This makes me so sad!!😢😢Poor babies, I’m glad I’m plant based 🌱🌱 and refuse to support the meat & diary industries!!
We are too!
Too many meat eaters to make a difference but kudos to those that refuse to support this abuse
I'm thinking about a real live Zello channel for plant-based animal lovers.. think this could work?
this is cruel
The way they die is worse than this 1 min video. Watch dominion or earthlings here on youtube.
The smelllllllllllllllll an they eat there dead
