Sigh ... try to concentrate really hard on what I said. Yes, there are places where it does take, really, 40 acres for a cow. Yes, they are scrubby, bad places. I gave examples: west Texas (near Amarillo), eastern and north eastern New Mexico, etc. How do I know? I've been there, talked to the ranchers, etc. The high plains of western Kansas, eastern Colorado are different than Nebraska, the Dakotas, too.
And as I said, yes, there are other places where you can place alot of beef cattle on 40 acres - KY would be one, our grass is so lush cows gain weight by looking at it. As long as there is no drought.
My POINT was that we don't have enough land to free-range enough cattle to feed this country.
