@mediocre_ethan@AKmountain_guy I get why they place restrictions on their adoption, most backyard horse owners' horse sense will be outmatched and their fencing overwhelmed, but those restrictions do contribute to the backlog of BLM horses.
@KatyLStamper@MikeWilnau That's true!
But that means Boomers weren't inclined to the dangerous levels of debt loading that subsequent generations have experienced.
I maintain that loans are for businesses, home loans are so bad they're called mortgages. "Death" might apply to the debt, but still, ew.
@craigknapp76@AgroNationalism Yes. Butts can take more blame than many for urging farmers to pull fences, there was a good balance between cropping and grazing, but it needed to happen on the same field - raise corn/beans, graze the residue and let cattle fertilize in so doing.
Make stock ponds great again.
@MorallyPanicked@craigknapp76@AgroNationalism Biochemically, counting calories, there may be an argument that feeding corn is more efficient, but cattle really need grass to avoid maladies from such an intensive diet, as well as movement, which is limited in a corn feeding schemes.
But we could rebuild fences and do both.
@NMarbletoe@impossiblyso@AgroNationalism Well worked, or just run in large enough herds, w/o fencing, which gets touchy in some locales, but worked in the past.
@impossiblyso@AgroNationalism Wrong. There are "English breeds" and "continental" cattle types - the latter of which *are* bigger and better suited to large ranges. Then get into Brahmin and other hardy breeds of cattle and you're talking very range worthy cattle.
Also, cattle are less dangerous than bison.
@LucianArgues Unfortunately, leftists crashed public educational standards (good riddance) such that most people can't really understand what you wrote. Whether through ignorance or bias, the effect is the same.
