I wonder how they explain these simple facts:

  1. Adult bison outweigh adult cattle by about 80%.
  2. There used to be millions of bison, far more than the number of cows we have now.
  3. Bison herds were so thick that the North Platte, Platte and Sweetwater Rivers (Nebraska-Wyoming) were so polluted that Oregon and Mormon Trail Pioneers (mid 1840s to late 1860s) were told to take coffee to drink along the trail. This was to ensure both boiling of water and covering up the taste of bison poop with something stronger as well as safe to drink.

At least two of those comments have more methane in them than your average cow.

My Brangus cattle average the same weight as Buffalo. Average bull runs about 950 to 1200 lbs in 2 years with a yield of 450 lbs. Mormons didn’t drink coffee but they did drink tea. Mormon tea which was made from a plant called Ephedera Nevadensis. I’ve seen no reference in history that the available water in that area was contaminated with Buffalo feces.
