For this reason, they require more land than other cattle operations, [7] such as feedlots, veal and dairy cattle production, or breeding operations that focus primarily on the management of bulls for artificial insemination. Pastures may be native or "improved" with forage designed to withstand grazing pressure and help animals gain weight ...
