Abstract

Cattle feeding systems used by Iowa farmers are varied, since many systems are an outgrowth of changes in technology. In the following discussion, the more widely used cattle feeding systems in Iowa are analyzed. Eight different systems are described by type of facility used, feeding program, and type of cattle. Within each system, six different size groups are analyzed. Other systems could be identified, but these eight alternatives provide a summary of the wide range of cattle feeding systems that are currently found in the state.
