@VictoriaBroehm @Alltech Nutrigenomics is fascinating. We are what we eat in a way I imagined by our grandparents when they used the phrase.

Had a blast talking with the team from @The_BCI about giving cows the setup they need for rebreeding success. Do you calve your heifers before your mature cows? #HerdonCattleChat

THREAD 🧵

A recent @TheEconomist article has claimed that we should treat beef like coal to save the planet. We need to reduce emissions where we can, including livestock, but I have a few issues with their story.

Let’s debunk some claims, shall we?

1st up: cows are the sole reason for deforestation

Debunked:
👆In the U.S. ag land use has DECLINED over the past 50+ years. https://t.co/ZlVR6e2Ifs
✌️Globally, yes cattle ranchers are agents of deforestation, but they are NOT the PRIMARY agents https://t.co/XWvM89jbIr

@HereJust4Coffee @amazing_nature0 Ruminants like bison and cattle produce a lot of heat during digestion of fiber. The ice on the coat in this image showing that body heat isn’t melting the ice is proof of amazing heat retention.
