[QUOTE="Brandonm22, post: 519456, member: 7645"] Maybe future lines of cattle (either through scientific linebreeding, cloning, or genetic modifications) will be healthier and require less doctoring. With an increasing amount of corn being diverted to fuel productions, it MAY even be presumptuous to assume that there will still be pens or pen riders in the future. Future cattle may be faster growing, faster finishing (see chickens) and they MAY have to do that on grass and corn stubble. The population of the United States is 303,730,000. It was only 123,202,624 in 1940. In 2050 it is estimated to be ~$400 million in 2050. [url=http://www.npg.org/facts/us_pop_projections.htm]http://www.npg.org/facts/us_pop_projections.htm[/url] It is entirely possible that few if any American 30,000 acre ranches will remain intact if that growth rate continues well into the future. That 30,000 acre ranch MAY be more efficiently used by irrigating it and putting it into corn/ethanol production or turned into 150,000 single family garden homes. [/QUOTE]
