Today I learned there were likely more buffalo in North America prior to 1492 than there are heads of cattle today. 😮🤯

I wish I could have seen that. I did see a small herd in the badlands of north Dakota.
I bet this place was unbearably hot with all those farts 🥵😮💨. Jk for those who can't read my sarcasm
It’s the stupid irony of the idiocy of trying to reduce cattle herds. We need the soil being broken up by hooves. We need the manure to fertilize. We killed off the big roaming herds and don’t seem to understand why the biggest environmental issue we face is soil loss? Insanity. If curious, it’s worth a little research on the effects of killing off the nomadic herding culture in Northern Africa in the past 30 years. International aid can be a really destructive force!
