Abstract

Though it requires additional inputs such as labor, space, and feed, finishing cattle on-farm can be rewarding as well as educational. The finishing phase comprises the final growth and fattening of animals to result in a product ready for harvest. There are many ways to feed cattle during the finishing phase. The objective of this publication is to provide guidance on how to select a finishing system that best matches unique farm resources.
