[QUOTE="Aero, post: 536213, member: 2076"] i am not pretending to know anything about dairies, but it's hard for me to believe that a 3-4 yr productive life with super-high feed bills and little grazing is the optimal system for the farmer, cow and industry. with development costs to get an animal to calving, only to use them for a few years seems like a pretty risky investment. i would like to know what percentage of expenses are from feeding. it just looks exactly like the current beef mentality of bigger, better, faster growing, higher nutritional requirements, working for the animals instead of the other way around. how would you lose 50% of them?
