Today's cattle consume 40% more hay than they used too.
Hay consumption is 2.2 tons per cow unit annually vs 1.43 tons per cow unit in the past.
Cows are 28% larger than in the past.
Also beef production is 32% more per cow than in the past.
Irregardless, there is a lack of enough roughage in the USA to properly grow the cattle.
That means beef production is now dropping weekly.
Grain is cheap and feeding large amounts of grain early caps frame size early too.
