Any purely grass fed cow should be close, no? They're part of the normal carbon cycle, and that carbon is pulled back in when the grass regrows. The problem is when you bring sequestered carbon (fossil fuels) into the mix.
- virtuallynathan 8y agoCows can also sequester carbon with their Poo going into the soil.
- mac01021 8y agoNo, because that land could be be reforested if it weren't kept for the cattle.
- ericd 8y agoA lot of grassland can’t support a forest. Cattle are able to survive on land that is otherwise too marginal to do much of anything but grow grass.
