REAL Cowboys

The "rule of thumb" here in Missouri is 1.5-2 acres per cow/calf pair for a year. We have some poor clay hill country but it still grows good pasture. My neighbor rotates grazing on the pasture next to me and hays it once a year.

Our love for the horse is the horse's worst enemy.

Only large animal running free range in my area is White Tail Deer. They have no problem finding something to eat. People from all over the U.S. come here to hunt Deer in the Fall.

India has over 300 million head of cattle. US has about 94 million. India is about 1/3rd the total land of the US.

That is a lot of cattle.

Their religion does not allow most Hindus, the dominant religion, to eat cows. They are sacred.

Yes. US consumes a total of 26 million pounds of beef/year while India consumes 5 million pounds.

Food is not the reason.

So their purpose for having three times as many cows as us is what?

This is a very brief reason. It’s more complicated - like most religions.

Chicken passed beef consumption about 30 years ago in the US.
