Different cattle feeding production systems have separate advantages and disadvantages.

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 pasture-fed animals, grass is the forage that composes all or at least the great majority of their diet.

Cattle fattened in feedlots are fed small amounts of hay supplemented with grain, soy and other ingredients in order to increase the energy density of the diet.

The debate is whether cattle should be raised on diets primarily composed of pasture (grass) or a concentrated diet of grain, soy, corn and other supplements.

The issue is often complicated by the political interests and confusion between labels such as "free range", "organic", or "natural".

Cattle raised on a primarily forage diet are termed grass-fed or pasture-raised; for example meat or milk may be called grass-fed beef or pasture-raised dairy.

However, the term "pasture-raised" can lead to confusion with the term "free range", which does not describe exactly what the animals eat.

Eggs are laid by female animals of many different species, including birds, reptiles, amphibians, mammals, and fish, and have been eaten by humans for thousands of years.

Bird and reptile eggs consist of a protective eggshell, albumen (egg white), and vitellus (egg yolk), contained within various thin membranes.

The most popular choice for egg consumption are chicken eggs.

Other popular choices for egg consumption are duck, quail, roe, and caviar.

Butter is a dairy product containing up to 80% butterfat (in commercial products) which is solid when chilled and at room temperature in some regions and liquid when warmed.

It is made by churning fresh or fermented cream or milk to separate the butterfat from the buttermilk.

It is generally used as a spread on plain or toasted bread products and a condiment on cooked vegetables, as well as in cooking, such as baking, sauce making, and pan frying.

Butter consists of butterfat, milk proteins and water, and in some types, added salt.

Butter may also be sold with added flavourings, such as garlic butter.
