dc.descriptionAccurate and continuous monitoring of cattle development is essential to optimize feedlot management and determine the most profitable slaughter period. Traditional weighing procedures are labor-intensive, intrusive, and difficult to scale, highlighting the need for automated, non-invasive longitudinal monitoring frameworks. In this study, we propose a UAV-based computer vision framework that integrates high-resolution aerial imagery with deep learning techniques to track the morphological development of beef cattle throughout the production cycle, rather than directly estimating body weight. A subset of images was annotated to fine-tune YOLOv11s for cattle detection, while instance-level body contours were extracted using SAM 2.1 without additional training. An automated filtering strategy retained only well-posed standing animals, enabling consistent extraction of morphological features such as body length, width, and Width-to-Length ratio (W/L), a scale-invariant proxy of body condition over time. Longitudinal, population-level analysis of Nellore cattle monitored over 112 days revealed a clear sigmoidal growth pattern, well described by a logistic model, and the growth curve uncovered three biological phases: lag, rapid development, and plateau, allowing the framework to qualitatively determine an appropriate economic marketing window. These results demonstrate the practical value of the proposed framework for scalable, data-driven precision livestock management in commercial feedlot environment.
