The journey from the time a calf is conceived to the time beef is consumed takes 24-30 months and thousands of miles—from ranches, farms, feed yards and packing plants to grocery stores and restaurants.
Q: How much land is an acre?
A: An acre is a measure of area. It can be any shape as long as it equals 43,560 square feet. Engineers typically use 100,000 square feet for a city block, which is about 2 ¼ acres. An acre is about the same size as a football field.
