It was mentioned earlier that a percentage of the feedlots are not factory controlled. Would there be merit in the factory controlled group being given a different title? I understand that there are a number of people who, for animal welfare reasons, have the same status as the feedlots but they would not be similar operations. Am I correct in saying that?
