Comment on "Being vegan is unnatural"
ikidd@lemmy.world 4 days agoWell, we end up with at least a few hobbling around for a couple months, and other that show evidence of long-term damage that we will cull after weaning. That’s from a herd of 334 Angus/Simmental which aren’t a huge phenotype like Charolais, where it’s more common. And pasture breeding is the defacto standard in North America.
So no, it’s not an exaggeration, it’s actual experience.

Thats interesting. My parents have a herd of about 100 Fleckvieh/spotted cattle (Including followers) and I couldnt remember that we ever had a case where a cow had a displaced hip or broken leg, because it has been mounted. We had to cull animals because of broken legs, but those were caused by other accidents.
