Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire "Stop eating meat" - it has a cost to climate change......

Luckily the food source for our herds of beef cattle is a renewable resource.

Think of a cow as the modern day buffalo. Big herbivores both but cows are obviously easier to contain/handle and are more 'efficient' than buff.


We raise them from birth. 'Produce' all the of the feed they consume from mid December to about May.
All 'organic' feed that we put up ourselves. Very little fertilizer used, very little if any chemical/spray used in the fields.

May through November-December they graze in pastures, no feeding involved.

Corn is the big target in these conversations but we didn't plant any last year. Hopefully get some in this Spring though...


It's all about the bottom-line. When raising cattle feed costs will always be your biggest expensive. Keep your input costs low(fert and spray is $$$).


And hope Mother Nature helps out because there is one thing money can't buy.



Rain.


Rain in the hills makes the grass grow and life is good.

government's gonna have a real riot on their hands if a Big Mac costs $15

I appreciate the levity, but people, these idiots are serious and they have people in authority to proceed with some of these crackpot agendas!
