Cattle Feedlot Cowboy, Kansas

A feedlot cowboy "riding the range" at the Ingalls Feedlot, Ingalls, Kansas. The innovation of feedlots was to bring the cattle to the feed and thus reduce labor and stress on the cattle producing higher profit margins. Here you can see the central feed bins with the "alleys" designed for effecient feeding by special feed trucks. This cowboy said he likes being on the range better but the pay and benefits are better in the feedlots.
