This paper presents the application of a multiobjective linear model of the feeding process for cattle assigned to meat production in a cattle farm. The multiobjective linear programming work uses the following criteria: Types of pasture, nutrients present in the animal diet, budget, as well as the total area to be cultivated and/or cleaned. Among the most relevant results is the superiority of the multiobjective linear model with respect to the single criteria standard models. This allows for optimal decision-making on the farm.
