Livestock meat sector
The beef industry encompasses the commercial production, processing, and distribution of cattle for meat.
It includes ranching operations that raise cattle, feedlots that fatten them, slaughterhouses, meatpacking plants, and the supply chains connecting them to consumers.
The beef industry has faced criticism over environmental impact and animal welfare practices.
