Abstract: Excerpts from the report Preface: The Agricultural Marketing Service, through its research program, makes recommendations concerning ways to increase marketing efficiency. One area of this broad program deals with layouts facilities, equipment, and work methods for handling and marketing livestock and meat. The commercial cattle feedlot business has grown rapidly in recent years and has become an important part of the livestock marketing system. Because of the relatively rapid growth of commercial cattle feedlots, many do not have the most efficient facilities for handling and feeding cattle and calves. This report provides data and guidelines for use in designing layouts for commercial cattle feedlots of various sizes. It also provides data on the relative efficiency of different methods and equipment used in feeding cattle.
