[QUOTE="Commercialfarmer, post: 1313925, member: 14544"] You're quite ill informed at best. You have no basic idea of what a rumen does if you think cattle cannot process corn as a food source. Feeding cattle is not designed to make them I'll, that is a completely fabricated statement that nullifies any good faith in any other statements you can or will make. Nutritionists and veterinarians are employed at high costs to feedyards to create the best and most efficient means of turning feed into quality beef. Please explain how a dead calf is making a profit? The ridiculousness of your assertions are amazing. There is a ton of science utilized in the feedlot industry to promote health. Sick cattle don't gain and don't grade well. Handling of cattle has alot to do with stress and loss. Handling practices have changed dramatically in the last 20 to 30 years and improve all the time. The far majority of feedlot sickness, however, is because insufficient backgrounding and preventative care was done up the line- that means the grass farmers. Antibiotic use is expensive, there is no financial gain to using medications. Feedlots make money by feeding, not having a high sick rate. Ionophores are not for sick cattle and there is a ton of misinformation reported about them by people that have zero data to back up their claims. You cannot produce enough grassfed beef to support the beef demand. It cannot and will not be done. Your false statements are offensive to the industry. You should read real statistics instead of organic drivel based on wishes and dreams. I expect this kind of crap when I go to some Yahoo article comments, but it really pisses me off to see it on a forum like this by a supposed producer. Our schools and industry have completely failed our society. And for the record, I don't hate grassfed businesses. If it works for you great. But perpetuating bs because it helps your business model is very unethical and harmful! [/QUOTE]
