The cattle industry involves the breeding and raising of cattle for various purposes, primarily for beef and dairy production. It plays a significant role in the global economy, providing food, employment, and raw materials. Cattle are raised on farms and ranches, where they are fed and cared for until they reach market weight. In addition to meat and milk, the cattle industry also produces by-products such as leather and gelatin. The industry faces challenges, including environmental concerns and animal welfare issues, prompting ongoing discussions about sustainable practices and ethical treatment of livestock.
