While you might think the ranches out west have the highest population of beef cattle per square mile, it's actually the grasslands of Nebraska, Missouri, Oklohoma, Kentucky and Tennessee where you can find the most cows grazing.
Lands regularly plowed for growing field crops like corn and soy.
One of my pass time activities I do usually when waiting on something is to look at show cattle on Facebook and try to score them in my head. There are some real super cattle out there thanks to modern genetics.
I chisel plow the manure that we spread so it breaks down faster! By incorporating the manure, you'll lose less Nitrogen to volatization.
The colour markings are the main characteristic for the Lakenvelder. A Lakenvelder is either black or red, with a white belt over the middle. In Dutch this belt is described as 'laken' (sheet). The lakenvelder is a curious and quiet breed. The breed began to flourish in the Netherlands in the 17th century. The cattle were highly prized for their milking and fattening abilities. Nowadays, the Lakenvelder is a rare breed.
