Grain-Feeding America's Livestock
(The first commercial feedlot in Texas was started in 1950!) Consequently the supply of grain-fed cattle soared. By 1955 it had shot up to 7.4 billion pounds.
Is grain fed beef better than grass fed?
Put simply, grass-fed beef is a healthier choice than grain-fed. Beef from grass-fed cows is higher in many healthy nutrients than beef from grain-fed cows.
What percentage of cows are grain fed?
86% comes from materials humans don't eat. The plant-based industry wants you to believe that crops, like soy, corn, and barley, are mostly being fed to livestock, but according to the United Nations FAO, grain makes up only 13% of global livestock feed.
