The selection of a site for a livestock feedlot directly affects the success of the feedlot.
Factors to consider in choosing a feedlot location include: environmental considerations, streams, topography, water supply, land area, towns and zoning laws. Other items include a source of livestock and feed, transportation (roads), marketing facilities. Finally the operator must determine the size to build with provision for expansion.
