I have 135 heifers in confinement through the winter.  49 of them are on pasture in the summer, therefore they don't count as "Confined" as per the definition of the EPA. 

CAFO is not a management or system definition it is a pollution potential definition as per the EPA.  It entails the number of animal units that are on impervious surfaces for more than 9 months of the year.

Modern agriculture involves much more than what is or isn't a CAFO as defined by the EPA.
