[QUOTE="Ted M, post: 7298892, member: 16272"] From memory my small herd (25 spring calving cows) produces 250 something tonnes of co2e per year according to a carbon calculator we did around 12 months ago. We sell about 25 finished cattle per year at around 400kg dw so approx 10 tonnes of beef. That's 25kg co2e per kg. Bulls are finished and away by 14 months, heifers at 18 unless they go for breeding. Cows wintered on hay and loose housed on straw with all inputs apart from fert coming from within a mile radius. I think they use the same calculator for water use when they claim several thousand litres for a burger. Ours are on metered mains water and it works out about 0.25 litres per burger. What falls on the fields I have no control over. Definitely some creative accountancy going on. [/QUOTE]
