With some frequency in news and online I hear about "factory farming", but from my travels throughout the East Coast, Appalachia, the Midwest, South, and Southwest I have yet to actually see anything that looks like a factory farm. Cows in particular I've never seen anywhere other than modestly sized to large ranches. That said, I have been to chicken farms and can recall them being in cages to lay eggs and then their eggs would roll down metal tracks into a collection basket. I haven't really seen any pig farms. Sheep I've seen in Appalachia on small ranches. Horses you see everywhere on ranches (but obviously Americans don't eat horse). I wonder where all the factory farms are...
