I get asked quite a bit how much do cows eat. Well, they have a full-time nutritionist that keeps a balanced ration for them. There’s canola and soybeans and products that we as humans eat every day, mineral packages with all your vitamins and everything you need for the day. So, they eat about 100 pounds a day, that’s equivalent to about 360 cheeseburgers. So, if you can imagine, that’s a lot of feed.
