If anyone is concerned about a lack of grazing in USA see Lithuania north of
Poland.
I was searching and found that in 1998 Lithuania had 600,000 cows and -
�It is estimated that at least 75% of Lithuanian cows are tethered
(Schukking and Hamnett 1998). In theory this is a rotational grazing system
that can lead to efficient use of grassland but in practice it is labour
intensive because of the need to carry water, move the cows and milk cows in
situ.�
Peasant farming and likely to be the same in the year 3000.
I�ve done consulting in Poland twice and couldn�t believe my eyes - no
fences anywhere, one adult man and one dog (Alsation - German shepherd)
herding 50 sheep on pasture seven days a week and housing them at night. The
herder gets a break in winter when snow covers all.
