Answer:
There are many good and bad causes that people see associated with cattle ranching. Here's a lost of both:
Good:
- Healthy cattle (less sickness with extensive management and natural diet)
- Healthy grass (good grazing practices induce vigorous grass growth)
- Low labour costs (cattle are feeding themselves and not being fed)
- Minimal manure management (Mother Nature takes care of that on the pastures)
- Environmentally friendly, as manure and urine goes back into the soil to help plants grow, and grass makes cattle fat and happy
- Range cattle produce beef that is healthy for people to eat, containing lower and healthier fat than feedlot grain-fed beef.
Bad:
- Overgrazing (always comes with poor grazing practices)
- Deforestation (which is synonymous with what is happening in South America)
- Requires fencing to keep animals in and to keep animals out of riparian areas
- Higher methane production with cattle grazing on pasture versus being fed in a feedlot
- Grass-fed beef can be something that people don't like, preferring grain-fed over grass-fed.
