Serious question; why do beef cattle bust so much ass?

If you had seven stomachs and ate that much grass, I bet you would too. Throw a couple beers into the mix...

Most milk cows weigh close to 2000lbs. All they do everyday is stand around and eat. They also give over 100 lbs. of milk each day. Their diets are strictly controlled.

Ders gold in tham hills and ders fuel in that cows behind.

New science is hinting that a little seaweed fixes it all:
https://modernfarmer.com/2016/10/seaweed-livestock-methane-emissions/
"the researchers found, reduced methane emissions in cows by more than 99 percent, at fairly low doses"

Methane can be captured true enough, but that would only work for 100% indoor cows and it would be an expensive system of fans seperators pumps holding containers to process all those gases. Liquids are easier to work with obviously. Of course when you pour money into high birth-rate slash-n-burn societies then all those hard-fought improvements to improve world air quality go away with the next gust across the water.

If they could capture some of it and run a fleet of buses on it, I'm sure that everyone would calm down a little.

It really does contribute quite a bit to the ozone layer, unfortunately.

There was no luck involved in what Bill Gates accomplished, he was, is a shark.

Most of the methane comes from their burps. The problem with the seaweed is supply. But im sure that could be made up quick enough if there was a demand. We switched to ground turkey years ago even for burgers and stuff and can hardly tell a difference in taste. There a ton of cholesterol in beef and you can feel it.
