    What was the green way to raise cattle (asking as a cheeseburger lover). I don’t see any real way to do so. Seaweed in their feed is a good way to reduce methane production I’ve read but I’ve never raised cattle, just a few hens in the backyard for eggs. They roam around eat the bugs, weeds, grass, etc but are all around an easy pet(?) to have.

    5 hens, no roosters, roughly 2 dozen eggs a week. Obviously supplement with feed but care is easy. Hose down the coop on the outside, and replace pine chips which last a decent bit, but they compost/biodegrade and with chicken shit on them I think using them for mulch in the garden should be good for the garden as well… The chickens may eat your garden though haha
