I think we need more ruminant animals raised on grass as a means of regenerative farming... I think beef largely gets a bad rap for a lot of reasons that largely don't hold to grass fed cattle farming.



I'm starting to see goat herds used a lot for wildfire brush abatement for large business properties on steep hillsides (not sure if I've seen an individual residential lot goat-abated but maybe it happens too). Normally hard and dangerous work for people with power tools, but the goats seem happy and in their element.


I've seen it on undeveloped (or, I should say not yet developed) land in a few places... Would be cool to see more of this.


then your next step is to cite research from the guy who used to hunt elephants in Africa and it's the heirs of a multi-million livestock industry, doing TED talks about the topic meanwhile no independent or state funded research except their organization could replicate the findings over the decades?


What happened to US grasslands when eliminating the majority of the ruminants from those lands? What has happened to the grassland reserves for Buffalo in MT since re-introducing and growing said populations?
