    Depends where you live, the cattle and sheep where I live just wander around in the paddocks and eat grass for the most part.

    Besides, cattle trucks are public transport for cows anyway, very efficient.

      That is not how Western cattle farming works. As someone in the industry I can confidently say that no cow sold to a processor get a majority of their calories through grazed uncultivated grassland.

      That is a feasible strategy for subsistence farming, but not in our for-profit farming model.
