In the West, one cow and calf need an average of nearly 14 acres per month to feed themselves on arid public lands. In the East, the same cow-calf pair requires one-sixth of an acre of average private farmland for forage.
that was in an article about subsidizing grazing. and of course factory farming supplies our meat, just like factory farming supplies rice, corn, beans and our other produce. it's not as tho everyone is going to start having a small farm in their backyards.
