Affirming the consequent. “If cows live longer, they produce more methane; cows raised in pasture live longer than fodder-raised cows, therefore . . .” — and that’s aside from methane from animal flatulence not having an “environmental impact”.

For once I side with the animal rights groups.

Grass fed is far better for them and for us.

Cow farts are going to produce tidal waves and super tornadoes. All these people need padded cells.

By ‘them’ I mean the cows, not the animal rights people.

Just imagine how bad it would be if the buffaloes weren’t dwindled down

An "animal rights" group in favor of "factory farm" cattle because they fatten up faster so they can be slaughtered sooner than "free range" cattle?

That's just funny...

From an old rancher! Our family has been in this business for over 100 years and the last 40 of them have been on my shoulders. We have 42 square miles total of family owned ranch. This year I’m running 25 head per square mile (It’s been a good wet year), on a bad year I may run 12 to 14. The only feed I buy is range cubes and that’s only used to get the cows in for a head count. Our’s are about as 100% organic as they come and we never planned it that way, it’s just the way it’s done down here in West Texas. They eat grass, weed’s, cactus and anything else they fine palatable. They also keep the ground broke up so we have good permeability when we do get those much needed rains. Without that a crust forms and the water just keeps running south and we get no benefit. On the other side I’m in the oil and gas business and can verify that methane is a naturally formed gas from decomposition, so present in our life that when we run sniffers over a pipeline looking for leaks we sniff for pentane because methane is everywhere. We naturally produce more methane than the cows will ever be able to accomplish.

We have an organic co-op in Wisconsin

https://www.organicvalley.coop/

They market many products among them is what they label Pasture Butter. It is made strictly from cows that pasture feed. It is delicious and tastes like fresh clover.

And think of the environmental havoc caused by free range chickens!

The “Methane Matters” group will soon be out there assassinating cows.

Wait until they discover the huge methane emission problem from growing rice.
