In the United States, most grass-fed cattle are raised for beef production. Dairy cattle may be supplemented with grain to increase the efficiency of production and reduce the area needed to support the energy requirements of the herd. A growing number of health and environmental proponents in the United States such as the Union of Concerned Scientists advocate raising cattle on pasture and other forage. Complete adoption of farming practices like grass-fed beef production systems would

However, the term "pasture-raised" can lead to confusion with the term "free range" which does not describe exactly what the animals eat. Thus, cattle can be labelled free range but not necessarily grass-fed. Another term is "grass-finished", for which cattle are generally held to a higher standard in terms of tenderness and marbling. However, the label generally has no strict regulations. Cattle called "corn-fed", "grain-fed", or "corn-finished" are typically fattened on maize, soy, and other types of feed for several months before slaughter. As a high-starch, high-energy food, corn

Most cattle in the US have a diet that is composed of at least some forage (grass, legumes, or silage). In fact, most beef cattle are raised on pasture from birth in the spring until autumn (7 to 9 months). Then for
