Cattle in a pen at a feedlot adjacent to a grain elevator in Ingalls, Nebraska.

The main purpose of feedlots is to help animals reach a certain weight as efficiently as possible. Through providing a steady, high energy diet and managing the cattle, they attempt to minimize health problems and stress. A criticism of feedlots is that they are overcrowded which creates more challenges for healthy animals.
