[QUOTE="OK Jeanne, post: 459155, member: 3333"] -------------- Cowtrek -you hit the nail on the head. Change is coming whether or not the current powers-that-be like it or not. I believe it was Einstein that said the greatest human failure is the failure to understand the expotential function. What does that have to do with anything? IMO the expotential global population growth enabled by the "green" revolution(enabled by fossil fuels) has over-stocked our earth to the point that we are facing resource depletion of an unimaginable scale. do we all know what happens when a pasture is over-stocked? Both the land and animals suffer until enough die off to get back into balance. The current system of producing commodity beef is entirely based on availability of fossil fuels---for the grain, etc etc. I saw a cartoon the other day that showed a man in a suit grabbing an ear of corn from the hand of a starving child--and he was saying" here, gimme that; I need it for my gas tank". The fossil fuel situation is going to change literally everything in our way of life. If you are going to stay in the cattle business, you will need to find genetics that can grow well and finish out on forage. There's to be a special on the oil situation on the History Channel next Tuesday evening as I understand.....probably well worth watching. [/QUOTE]
