Wikipedia
Backgrounding
Backgrounding is an intermediate stage sometimes used in cattle production which begins after weaning and ends upon placement in a feedlot. Background feeding relies more heavily on forage (e.g., pasture, hay) in combination with grains to increase a calf's weight by several hundred pounds and to build up immunity to diseases before it enters a feedlot. Some cattle operations specialize in backgrounding.

backgrounding
Backgrounding is a cognitive process or a linguistic technique where less important information, circumstances, or events are given less prominence or moved to the background to allow more important or relevant details to stand out and be in focus. In storytelling, literature, journalism, photography, or visual arts, backgrounding helps provide context, enhance comprehension, or set the tone without overwhelming the primary subject or theme. In livestock farming, it refers to an intermediate growth stage of cattle following weaning before they are placed on a feedlot.
