11. The two images represent two different methods of raising livestock in the United States. Which of the following statements most accurately compares these two agricultural practices?
a. Cattle ranching is a more economically friendly way to raise livestock than using feedlots
because less infrastructure is needed
b. Feedlots require more space than cattle ranching does, which reduces profits due to the cost of
the land
C. Consumers prefer to pay higher prices for grass-fed beef than for corn-fed beef raised in
feedlots because of the environmentally friendly practices associated with grass-fed beef.
d. Feedlots can minimize costs associated with livestock production because feedlots do not use
as much space as cattle ranching
e Feedlots require less food consumption by the cows than cattle ranching because the livestock
are grazing on available grass in the pastures
