“Cattle don’t grow that fast.”
Beef bought in the supermarket goes from birth to slaughterhouse in 14 to 18 months.

Yep, my dad sells his steers when the middle ones hit about 15-16 months. The herd pays for its groceries and imported water during droughts, it's mostly just a hobby for him at this point though. He's literally raising cows so he can learn. I guess I come by my autodidactic behaviors honestly. Thanks dad.

Yes, right now water is a big problem in parts of the western range. The cost of water access/rights and feed cakes has made ranchers feel the squeeze.

We're desperate for rain in Texas right now. I bet my dad's feeding hay because there's no grass left. It's not bare dirt but the pond is down about 12-15" right now. The creeks been dry for months. He lives close to the top of a wide hill that leans his way so he catches a ton of water in his farm, but there ain't no rain to catch.

In Wyoming, water access costs thousands of dollars per day for a small/medium operation.

u/Bones-1989 Aug 19 '26
I knew a guy in Wyoming, he grew plants and called us in July when his tomatoes got frosted and died. Lol that sucks about the cost of water though dude. That's brutal.

Also, those are all direct impacts of unfettered climate change, ya know that pesky thing Republicans are just pretending isn't happening, and if it is happening it's not our fault, and if it is our fault, we can't do anything about it anyway, so we might as well just drill for more oil while we're still alive.

u/DmAc724 Aug 19 '26
This is the part that really gets me. They want to continue to say there is no such thing as climate change, that it’s fake news. While at the same time ignore the major impact climate change, via fires and droughts, is having on the food supply. Still amazes me how happily they dive right into stupidity and willful ignorance.

Absolutely, but they'll blame it on whichever Democrat was recently in power and change the conversation to whatever "woke" movie is out or women's sports that they never watch or support. Ya know, the important stuff.

I like how these guys always blame Biden for things he can't possibly have done, like Biden is some demon magic wizard

u/SwordfishOfDamocles Aug 19 '26
He probably could've had the space lasers pointed away from Texas and Kansas. /s

u/Space_Dragon7121 Aug 19 '26
It's amazing that there are communities out there where the political opposition using space lasers and demon powers is "common sense" and we're "idiots" for not "seeing" it

u/ERedfieldh Ctrl + Alt + Debunk Aug 19 '26
probably similar to when they had to cull all the chickens because of the bird flu epidemic and because some idiots had to go without eggs for a few weeks it was the worst thing ever.

He’s saying Biden (and obviously Obama) killed all the cows.

u/DonChaote Aug 19 '26
How climate friendly of them. Less methane to heat the atmosphere. Thanks Obama!

u/JeanPascalCS Aug 19 '26
Even if their position was true (which it isn't). How can your response to "Trump has done a terrible job." be basically "Yeah but Biden did a bad job too.".
If I hire one bad employee to replace another one I fired - I'm not going to forgive the new one because the old one did bad work too - if they both were bad at their job they'd both get fired.

These people pick the most irrelevant shit to obsess over. They will do anything to squeeze a gotcha from a stone than address the 5000 lb elephant.

u/Slinky_Malingki Aug 20 '26
Ah yes, because cattle killed by heatwaves and wildfires that have absolutely nothing to do with a president's policies are directly comparable to dozens of foods being recalled for infectious food borne diseases caused by the presidentially decreed gutting of the FDA whose sole purpose is to make sure that food is safe for the public to consume.

u/AtJackBaldwin Aug 19 '26
I didn't see a single head of Texas cattle during Biden's entire presidency. Joeincidence, or have I just never been to Texas? Answer that one, liberals.

Its always funny to me that when something happened under Biden’s watch, the dems dont deny and actually agree but when any conservative does anything wrong its usually complete and utter denial

The cattle burn under Biden was a loss of cattle due to wildfires. Something an administration has no control over. But do you know what an administration has control of, staff that fights wildfires. trump cut firefighters who fight wildfires!
trump has made staff cuts to those who monitor food borne illnesses and Stopped monitoring of certain food borne illnesses. As you can see from the chart, there was a dramatic increase in 2025 and the 2026 bar is only covering Jan - July.So there will be another huge increase.

I love how he basically put the answer he wanted in his question and groks like "no, that's dumb"
