Most of the land upon which cattle are grazed is unsuitable for crop production. The cattle convert grasses and scrub -- which is all of no use to humans with one stomach -- into protein which humans CAN eat. They also do it more efficiently without need of combines, plows, water for irrigation, pesticides, etc. |
