Answer:
Explanation: Their bodies do not convert the feed well so they need more water than if they had a more natural diet in order to bulk up. The food the cattle eats need water. Corn, soy, and alfalfa crops have higher irrigation rates and are main ingredients in the feed as opposed to crops that just use rain. One calf to adult will use about 4000 gallons of water for about 560 pounds of beef. A while lot more for a cow who is producing milk or feeding a calf.
