Sure... but it's also important to point out that while cattle "should" eat grass and can eat silage... 78% of beef in America comes from feedlot cattle[1]. On feedlots, the cattle are fed grains, not grass/silage... grains that we humans can easily eat like soy, corn, and barley [2].

None of those cows are raised on feedlots. Feedlots are used to fatten and "finish" the beef.

Most all cattle start their life being grass fed.
