From a 65 kg calf to 500 kg in 13 months

We build feedlots and beef integrations, from buying calves to slaughter and fresh meat sales. An Israeli project in Russia reached 500 kg live weight in a year, even through a Russian winter.

How the feedlot works

The feedlot runs on a FIFO basis: every month a new group of calves comes in and a finished group goes out. Occupancy stays constant and meat reaches the market in a steady flow.

Bulls are kept without grazing, in open barns and shaded pens, and fed a TMR ration from the farm's own feed centre. The site includes veterinary and service areas.
