- jacobush 8y agowhat is that?
- saganus 8y agoMassive cattle farms according to the text below the pictures.
- jacobush 8y agoIt looked so disconcerting I clicked it away immediately. I was so sure it was a tiled wall of some kind in a slaughter house - and a nightmarish rendition of a cross section of a heart or an animal or a clogged vein. It was all of these things
- saganus 8y agoYes. The pictures look strange indeed.
- stevenwoo 8y agoPrior to slaughter, most large scale farming of animals has a finishing step where the animals are confined to limit movement to fatten them up. In and Out has said it was limiting their expansion eastward to Texas because they did not want to freeze their beef, probably not coincidentally cattle feedlots range from California to Texas, north to Colorado, that I have seen personally.
- stevenwoo 8y agoIf you live in California, you can smell the feedlots for miles near Coalinga/Harris Ranch on I-5 while driving between San Francisco and Los Angeles, and when cattle are visible, it appears much denser than that photograph, but that may be sample bias where the cows just like to get closer to the fence for some reason, need a drone to have a better idea.
