There is so much noise and anti-livestock propaganda out there —- it’s good to look at the actual (and official) data. The US EPA is clear about livestock vs other (i.e. fossil fuel sector) emissions. Who is the 800lb gorilla?

IT'S. NOT. THE. COW. FARTS.
Nearly all enteric methane from cattle is from belching. Suggesting otherwise turns this serious climate topic into a joke.
Reducing methane is a HUGE opportunity. That should be a goal. But we shouldn't trivialize it for trendy marketing. #COWSMENU
Burger King is improving its cows' low-carb diet by adding 100 grams of lemongrass to reduce methane emissions (aka cow farts), one of the key contributors to climate change. cnn.it/3foafcZ
Burger King’s new ad is blowing up in the ag community — and not in a good way

When 10-year-old Stormy Mauldin stepped into the ring at the Fort Worth Stock Show Sale of Champions, she had no idea that her Duroc Barrow would sell for $20,000. But 3 Texas women selflessly banded together to raise money for exhibitors in the sale.

I would like to invite @joaquinphoennix to join me on my next dairy farm tour. Joaquin, I think you would enjoy meeting the people who provide for the world and seeing how these operations are run. They are genuine families who have the cows/calves best interests at heart.

Shearing is nothing more than a haircut 💇 and as long as there are sheep, shearing must be practiced for the health and hygiene of each animal! 🐑 bit.ly/2IJjGrg

“You have two ways to view rural America,” Andrew McCrea says. “First, it’s dying and the legacy is crumbling. Second, these locations are vibrant and full of economic opportunities. Either view could be correct.”

#FarmingFact 2:
🔎 GHG emissions from 🇬🇧 #milk production have ⬇️ 24% since 1990 📉
🔎 There are 287m dairy cows worldwide. If all were as efficient as UK 🐄 we would need only 76m
🔎 Accounting for nutrient density, milk = 50% the GHG footprint of soya/oat drink 🥛
“Your generation is the biggest demander and consumer of carbon-spewing technological gadgets and devices. An hour without any of them and too many of you succumb to paralyzing lethargy.”
