re: #104 jaunte
That $2 a month probably doesn’t pay for the wear and tear on the land caused by a 1000 lb. animal.
There are some environmental changes that happen to the land when cows graze. I can’t remember —something to do with preventing erosion because they tear the grasses at the ground and don’t pull from the roots. Rhizomes continue to grow and secure the soil.
I don’t know how, exactly, that plays out with current climate conditions tho.
