Forced birth in a country with:
—No universal healthcare
—No universal childcare
—No paid family & medical leave
—One of the highest rates of maternal mortality among rich nations
This isn't about "life." It's about control.
South African Journal of Animal Science (Volume 52, Issue 2) article by P.E. Strydom & M. Hope-Jones (2022) titled;
“Evaluation of growth, carcass and meat quality characteristics of grain-fed Charolais and Charolais x Nguni bulls”

So, what happens when you cross a hardy Nguni dam with the great growing Charolais sire? 🐮
How good will that piece of steak taste & how much of it can we get? 🥩

Vegans might be calling for less meat consumption, but not the growing middle class 👨💼
The increase in population along with the pressure to decrease the agricultural carbon footprint has led to the need for more efficient #meat production 🐄🐐🐑

Hands-on experience is invaluable when it comes to training the next generation of animal scientists 👩🔬
It provides confidence to the students when they need to enter the industry 👨🌾

The third-year animal science students from the Department of Agricultural Economics & Animal Production, University of Limpopo were taught some very important work-based learning & experimental training on their practical at @ULvarsity experimental farm 🐄 🐑 🌽

Sitting quietly minding my own business (lies) and get up to leave and hear COLLEEN! Another Saffas mom follows me (Hi mom!!!!!) and she’s been instructed to say hello
I FUCKING LOVE SERENDIPITY 🤩🤩🤩🤩 Hello @melia_may#ColDoesPhilippines
Ps what is mom’s twitter handle?
It is imperative that soil is kept healthy with an active microbial life & that land management is good as this process could reduce atmospheric carbon and assist in mitigating climate change 🌄
Although the exact figures are still under debate 🧐
If a hypothetical global warming potential of 8 is used, & it is assumed that 70% of carbon in manure is sequestered, then a beef cow that produced 8 offspring will be classified as carbon neutral ☯️
Did you know that cattle indirectly put carbon back into the soil? 🌍
The process is called carbon sequestration 🌄
Cattle’s manure contains carbon, which was obtained through eating various plant species, once this decomposes, the organic carbon is put back into the soil 🌽
