      I expect a substantial portion of that cow pasture/range land is dry grasslands and shrub steppe out west. It’s rough terrain and not good for much else. A lot of it doesn’t even have cows on it most of the time.

        Yes, and we grow cows on land that isn’t suitable for much else.

      Vegans and ecologists have been talking about this exact issue for a while now
