As you pointed out, "range fed" cattle are more "resource intensive", actually I might phrase it, "resource beneficial", not only since the cattle provide their waste to benefit the grasses they feed upon, but the wildlife they live in harmony with benefits from the clearing of underbrush, which enables more grasses and small plants to provide for them...(maybe you never were a hunter or lived on a ranch that you could see the complementary nature of cattle and wildlife)<br /><br />If the world wants to create smelly "feed lots", that's their business, and I'm glad I don't live near one, as well...but don't criticize the entire industry just from one end of it. And as such, your statistics are out of whack, since you and I both know how statistics can lie to suit the necessary conclusions... <br />Glad to read your gardening details, but lets get off the bull. Use it for the garden.jeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05240252629333977247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17084027.post-49847062827463971212009-07-26T14:05:10.634-04:002009-07-26T14:05:10.634-04:00i responded in a post:

To label either "wasteful" is erroneous. Waste is prevalent in this culture, both in energy and mindset, but to consider it wasteful simply because it is meat, is shortsighted...it is not. I can assure you both as a hunter and a retired cattle rancher, there is no "waste" unless you have the mindset of a vegetarian, then all meat is wasteful, simply because you disapprove of it!jeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05240252629333977247noreply@blogger.com
