Best way to fatten up your beef cattle

Within the last two weeks, we have received questions on feedlot systems in beef production. Here is an in-depth explanation of what it is and how to venture into it in case this is something you have been planning to explore.

Feedlot beef production is common in developed countries. In Kenya, though not many, there are farmers doing it and succeeding. I am yet to read research papers on this production system in Kenya although I have read many papers on the Australian experience and a few about the baby steps Botswana is taking.
