BEEF CATTLE FACTS• The United States and Brazil are the top beef
producing countries in the world.
• In the US, Texas has the most beef cows.
• Cattle outnumber humans in 9 states: Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Oklahoma, and Wyoming.
• A cow's gestation period is approximately 283. This is the average number of days from the day a cow is bred to the time she has a calf.
• The salivary glands of cattle, located beneath the tongue, produce 15-20 gallons of saliva per day.

BEEF CATTLE FACTS• A 1000-pound cow will produce 4 tons of manure in a year. • Ruminate animals like cows "chew the cud", which means
they re-chew the food they've already chewed slightly and swallowed.
• A cow spends 6 hours eating and 8 hours chewing its cud each day.
• The average cow has more than 40,000 jaw movements per day.
• The Chianina cattle were developed in Italy as a dual purpose beef/draft animal when the beef industry wanted extremely tall cattle. Though originally solid white in color, now you will likely only find black individuals in the USA.

BEEF CATTLE FACTS
• Hamburger meat from 1 steer would equal 720 quarter-pound hamburgers, enough for a family of 4 to enjoy hamburgers each day for nearly 6 months
• More than 100 medicines, including insulin and estrogen, come from cattle
• One cowhide can produce enough leather to make 20 footballs or 18 soccer balls or 18 volleyballs or 12 basketballs.
• Other products besides beef are made from the beef carcass. Leather, made from the hide, is used to make a variety of items, from clothing to basketballs. Eight pairs of cowboy boots can be made from one cowhide.

STAGES OF BEEF PRODUCTION
•Raising cattle involves numerous farms and operations, each serving a unique role in the process

COW-CALF OPERATION
• Beef production begins with ranchers who maintain a breeding herd of cows that nurture calves every year• When a calf is born, it weighs 60 to 100 pounds• Over the next few months, each calf will live off its mother’s milk and graze grass in pasture• Sell calves to Brokers/Stockers

BROKERS/ STOCKERS
•Raise calves after they have been weaned•Generally sell to feedlots

FEEDLOTS• Typically spend four to six months, during which time they have constant access to water, room to move around, and are free to graze at feed bunks containing a carefully balanced diet•Veterinarians, nutritionists and cattlemen work together to look after each animal

FEED CONVERSIONS• Feed conversion ratios are a measure of an animal’s efficiency in converting feed mass into body mass• Average FCR for cattle is 6 pounds of feed for every 1 pound of weight gain … 6:1
