Cattleman's Stewardship Review

Did you know that the U.S. beef industry produces 20% of the world’s beef with only 7% of the world’s cattle? That the production of a pound of grain-finished beef uses 45% less land, 76% less water, 49% less feed, while producing 51% less manure and 42% carbon emissions than producing a pound of grass-finished beef? That more than $30 million of the industry’s own money has been spent on beef product safety and E. coli research (although it costs you and me $0 to cook beef to 160°F and kill pathogens)? If you’re curious about the beef industry in general, or animal, human, environmental and local economic health, visit this online handbook, the Cattlemen’s Stewardship Review.
