    Thr vast majority of animals are factory farmed, so the idea that pasture land is feeding any noticable amount of animals is just wrong.

    I would love a source for anything you’re saying.

    The fact that corn is also grown for ethanol in no way changes that more corn is grown for them to eat does it? Like the corn fed to animals cant be used for ethanol. Also what use does feeding them oats accomplish?

      you should look up how much pasture land is part of that 80% figure that you quoted.

      All beef cattle graze for about their first year. The only spend the last 4 months or so in a concentrated feeding operation.
