The due to economic considerations. Whereas, they farmers need to make changes to better business would gain at least 10 to 30% of additional meat management and utilizing good quality of forage, when it is being fattened or postpone to be waste food crops and the addition of concentrates. slaughtered. This great potential can be achieved Beef cattle farm are raised by the farmers when high quality of calves and feed animals are either in a large or small scale and scattered in available so that the potential genetic of the cattle many different places.
