I was talking about more than feedlots, I was talking about grass-fed cattle vs. not grass-fed cattle. Do you really think it matters if a cow eats grain in a "feedlot" instead of on a "farm"? I sure don't.

The document you linked has 38.3% of "grazed grass" and 26.3% of "conserved grass". That's 64.6% of grass.
