>Most cattle in the US have a diet that is composed of at least some forage (grass, legumes, or silage). In fact, most beef cattle are raised on pasture from birth in the spring until autumn (7 to 9 months)

> honestly are most of us eating natty grassfed, free range meat?

Most, majority, of BEEF, in the US and Australia, live at least most of their lives on pasture. If you're eating beef, they probably had a good time on pasture, at least most of their lives. I personally, now, pay more for organic, grass fed, beef and lamb. (Chicken and pigs, yeah, factory farming is prevalent and inexcusable cruelty)

When you hear vegan liars/propagandists attack factory farming methods, they make it sound like they are talking about cows, but they use the word "livestock" to include hogs and chickens, that is where the horrible Auschwitz farms conditions come in, not cows.

>Even if you claim you are I'll bet you aren't eating naturally raised beef nearly as much as you think you are.

Best I can do is pay extra for it, and if it is mislabeled as grass fed, organic, I am eating it raw, so I'll probably get sick or die if it's not. If I disappear one day, someone probably sold me some mislabeled sickly beef.

>Pastures get foraged. Steven Davis even concedes that at the very least 7.5 animals get killed in pasture foraging per hectare

Thats a stretch, but maybe the ATVs and motorcycles etc run over some mice. Driving your Prius to and from work at your non-profit kills more animals than that.

>Do you think that nothing else lives on pastures?

That is the point. Rabbits, foxes, mice, snakes, squirrels etc all can live on the pasture, and LIVE, unlike your vegan farms where you sterilize the land and kill every living thing on it with chemical pesticides and intensive harvesting machines. You kill animals, I pay ranchers to have more cows. I literally give life to cows with my money, you pay for chemical pesticides with yours.

>That land doesn’t get cleared for it?

It does, but not for me. America and Australia can provide all the meat for themselves, with zero extra deforestation, the rest is for export, feeding Africa for free, making "ethanol" a scam etc etc etc. But make sure you blame me for all that lol.

>That grass doesn’t get treated?

MINOR MINOR MINOR, and usually just once when setting up the fields, unlike your farms where you kill every living thing on it, every single year (chemical pesticides)
