It complements the EFSA Scientific opinion on the welfare of beef cattle, which was published separately. Using data from the scientific literature and information provided by EFSA stakeholders in an EFSA&#8217;s Public Call for Evidence, it identifies the beef cattle categories of interest (suckler cows, suckler calves, heifers, fattening cattle, breeding bulls, and cull dairy cows), and describes main productive cycles, housing practices, and feeding strategies. Suckler cows raise calves until weaning (at 5\u201311 months), primarily in systems with pasture access. Spring calving is the most common practice, though autumn and non\u2010seasonal calving also occur. During winter, suckler herds are mainly kept in loose\u2010housing with open straw bedded pens and fed a forage\u2010based diet. Fully indoor and year\u2010round pasture systems are less frequent. Fattening cattle originate from both suckler and dairy herds, are fattened for 6\u201315 months and are slaughtered between 12 and 30 months of age. They are usually housed indoors on slatted or solid concrete floors with bedding, though in some cases they are given access to pasture or kept in outdoor feedlots. Their diet shifts from fibre\u2010 and protein\u2010rich feeds during the growing phase to energy\u2010rich feeds during finishing. Breeding bulls used for natural mating are usually kept in suckler systems with pasture access, whereas bulls used for artificial insemination (AI) are housed in AI stations. Cull dairy cows, when fattened before slaughter, are typically fed either indoors or on pasture. The welfare implications of these various husbandry systems and practices are further assessed for each animal category in the EFSA Scientific opinion on the welfare of beef cattle on farms, which was published separately.<\/p>\n<p>This publication is linked to the scientific opinion \u00abWelfare of beef cattle\u00bb: <a href=\"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.2903\/j.efsa.2025.9518\">https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.2903\/j.efsa.2025.9518<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Technical report, prepared at the request of the European Commission, describes common husbandry systems and practices for keeping beef cattle in the EU.
