"finishing" does not mean slaughter, but the final feeding stage of the animal, and is known as "terminación"

Finishing cattle on grass
High levels of grass quality and quantity must be
maintained for as long as possible to take ‘easy
fleshed’ cattle through to finish. Bigger framed
cattle struggle to achieve a good finish on
pasture alone in summer and autumn. Finishers
can be kept out on full ad-lib finishing feed as
long as ground is dry enough to avoid poaching
and there is a dry area to lie down.
