Is ZERO GRAZING the answer for BEEF? 

It seems like a desperate attempt to make farming more and more efficient untill finally nobody can be involved with it in a economically sound way that's not a billion dollar corporation. Its insanity.

Productivity and efficiency has always been the goals of all enterprises. NO ?

@@alexlong3714 agriculture is not merely a enterprise. If you where making cell phones or t- shirts then sure that's fine. They are not critical to our survival as a species and the skills to do so are much more tangible. Agriculture is nearly as much art as it is science so is much more difficult to learn. Its is also 100% necessary for us as a species. We already have only about 2.5% of the population involved in agriculture and they are aging rappidly. Average age is north of 60 if I remember correctly. So my answer is no. If continuing to increase efficiency results in a lower percentage of the population involved, increased complexity, increased reliance on supply chains, increased start up cost, increased dominance of corperate ag, and decreased resiliency overall then we should not do it. It's also hollowing out rural communities do to lack of jobs. Destroying the last bastion of culture we have left in western society.

@@alexlong3714this isn’t more efficient lol

Grass and soil need the dung and urine so you don't need slurry, it's a natural thing to do, to allow the animals to graze and return carbon through pooping and peeing.

Or just use the Lely exos they are solar powered.

Yah. You know what’s best.

you know they are not cows .

Seems like a high stocking rate doesn't it...

Exactly!

Yeah the amazone is doing great

@@sjoerd3024 First, the ozone layer was destroyed by europeans and north americans to industrialize, not Brazil. 😃 The problem was created by us and they have to pay? Where in europe do you find native forests untouched by humans?

@@koffmann1689 i am not talking about europe? We talk about brazil because that is the example you give. You are right that there is almost no untouched forest left in europe. But that doesn't mean it is still as bad to destroy a rainforest in brazil as it is in europe. Saying it is environmentally friendly is a insane not sourced opinion.

@@koffmann1689 also brazil plays it part in the ozon layer. Just like europe and america

​@@sjoerd3024 Brazil is the leader in renewable energy meanwhile Europe still burns coal. I think you're not seeing the hypocrisy here, as Brazil has the cleanest energy and it's the most conservationist country in the entire world. You can't talk about the amazon forest while negating the role of Europe in climate change.

Thats not particularly correct. Almost any animal can be adjusted to a different kind of living environment, that's why we have animals that are finished in feedlots.

Lol

It’s called a “species rich” grassland. They aren’t weeds they are herbs, the cattle love them, and if done right the vet costs plummet because the cows will self medicate themselves. It’s like is humans if we just ate lettuce nothing else we wouldn’t be very healthy. A nice mixed diet is best for animals.

Farmers are really strict there is a yearly inspection called the bord bia and agricultural department are very strict on environmental inspection

@@garrettodowdshame most farms have very little wildlife on them, with all these checks you think they would be doing better for the environment than not.

@spencersanderson1894 Look at all the ditches and trees that are in farms. Now I'm talking about Europe, not America, landi s there to be farmed too, not just all let to nature people need food to survive too

That's the dumbest statement that has nothing to do with there farm there growing grass not cereals there not using chemicals to spray anything there using the cattle slurry to grow the grass

We believe it is a great way to make the most out of your land

I think your right

@@grasstechnology haha one of the worst ideas I’ve ever heard in my life way better for soil health, herd health and farmers time usage to just let them rotationally graze this stupid over thinking is the problem with humanity

It's not. You over exaggerate. And there are much things to worry about like food scarcity and high prices of consumer foods

"its cruel" and what about the murder part? Not cruel?

Agriculture is a business. Cows are raised to feed people. If you feel this is cruelty to animals, buy their stock and raise them as your pet.

@@abimbolaowolabi4985 I fully understand this, however whilst these animals are alive they should be treated with respect & handled humanely as possible.
