How Raising Cattle has Changed

In 1850, before the introduction of anything that resembled factory farming or feed lots, how long did it take cattle to reach full size only eating grass? Four to five years.
 
Today, with a factory farming, grains, hormones and all the other medication how long does it take cattle to reach full size? Only 14 months with the help of grains, drugs and lack of exercise.
