[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 618393, member: 6897"] Iowa..found this on a website: How much gas does a cow produce in its lifetime? In: Cows and Cattle Not sure, but . . . I can tell you with a high degree of certainty how much a cow produces in a year. Although the amounts vary from cow to cow depending upon many variables, including the quality of the feed given to the animals, a dairy cow cranks out about 142 kilograms of methane per year. (The U.S. EPA says it's more like 100 kg/yr.) Beef cattle don't fart as prolifically, squeezing out only about a little more than half as much methane, 76 kg/yr. Note that those figures DO NOT take into consideration the amount of methane produced by the decomposition of manure. [/QUOTE]
