Seems like it would be a lot less cost effective per pound than fattening up cattle. Im sure you ranchers have some numbers on that.
I don't think there is a food horse raising program.
More a factor of, "there is meat on the hoof. Let's make it meat
on the plate".
Very cost effective to take a 1200 pound animal that won't go past $150
Dollars at auction, and turn it into 300 pound of $3/lb burger.
