When they get to the feed lots they will be fed a LOT of grain, soybean,
(& in some places fish meal & milk) which adds about 1/3 of the protien
at a HUGE cost in vegetable protein.  Cows are EXCELLENT at converting
things that people won't/can't eat into protein, but then we turn around
and feed them lots of things we can/will eat to make them fit our 'ideal'.
