Agreed. I also grew up around cattle and eat beef regularly. No objection to cattle farming at all on my part. But I lived in Arizona and worked with native vegetation for a long time and saw the vast amount of damage cattle did the desert ecosystem. No animal that size lives there natively. Much of the ground was BLM and leased for very nominal fees. Tearing up a desert ecosystem that takes a long time to regenerate for the tiny amount of money produced by skinny parched cows at a subsidy makes no sense at all. I vote we keep the cows, but where they belong and not where they don't belong.
