We own land because it grows grass; we own cows because they eat that grass and convert it into milk, meat, fat and protein and we turn production into cash. The quality of that milk (butter-fat) determines the amount of profit you receive from your grass and each cow on your farm. Regardless of what other practices you incorporate on your farm, you reduce each cows’ daily intake by 20-50% with the proper selection, development and breeding of that animal.
