I never said they weren't. They need to start using their communication skills to get across the messages that matter, not 'Here's a look round my Noddy farm'.

Scale brings massive haulage costs for feed in and muck out, higher disease spread risk. Dealing with the emissions (solid, liquid and gas) from a big feed lot would give the EA nightmares
And scale has got diddly squat to do with how much methane a cow belches.
You are running the right system for your farm. It is no more or less impacting on climate change than any other farm in the country. There is nothing wrong our side of the farm gate.

Has anyone seen Tom pembertons new video looking round metcalf farms?
holy moly I knew they were a big concern but geee, that place is something to behold! Own vet practice on site, 1300 milking cows, own truck school, 117 trucks, Russel’s tractor dealership on site & an on site quarry. had a look on google maps and it looks like an industrial estate, it’s hugeee!

I’d love to have a poke around up there, says they do tours on the YouTube video but I’d need a week
are you going to pay them for this service to your business ?
neither is on tv or youtube for fun - it’s their livelihood, why do you feel it reasonable expect anyone to work for nothing ?

And click the like button on YouTube, makes the algorithm more likely to recommend the video to other users.
WTF are you on about ? Anyone who has a social media presence is putting themselves out there for comment. We have a fb page, people comment on it. Harry has a youtube channel, I am commenting on it.
No
in this case Harry / Clarkson are “putting themselves out there” to earn a living from youtube or tv
its not their job to do your industry PR for you.
Then all the more reason I can comment on it. Charity stuff I would go easy on it. Commercial operations are fair game.
Yes ?
Spell it for us who are non-scientific.
If beef production is off the scale in Brazil AND the use of fossil fuels to feed and transport them about is also factored in then imagine how much more the increase per hectre of CO2 and Methane would be on such an intensive system for the hectre per kilo of meat it produces?
There are not AHDB. - they are worth to you ecactly how much you pay them
Your team could simply harvest all our blather (TFF user content) to bolster the memes and pics that such an enterprise would no doubt require

CO2 and methane would not change, but a great feedlot full of cattle would have ammonia emissions off scale, especially as the ones we see in pictures are generally in a hot environment.

Very easily ......... and more ....... But skilled teams cost £’s
We saw the Zuckerberg film and the Dominic Cummings film so can well believe it.
It is a kick in the teeth, not just that, but hugely hypocritical of SA ethos of encouraging mixed farming and livestock production, organic fertiliser/manure is also encouraged. Its no better to take that stance of slating one person's practice than a salesman coming to your yard and saying you must by a zetor because your Fendt is crap.
It's also incredibly short sighted, what happens to our uk feed grain market if everything fom poultry to beef is grass reared? Sure, you could say all that land could be grass for the purpose.. but then we would all have to rear stock and in a year like this would have a greater shortage of human consumption quality grain than we already have. There is a good place in the system to intensively rear animals for food off what could otherwise be classed as waste. What the do-gooders think they want to achieve is absolutely opposite to what they actually would achieve.
Beast for beast, yes. But I was wondering about number of beasts per hectre (feedlot) i.e. much more. And of course, and I'm guessing here, the pasture-methane cycle stops turning if the beasts only eat grain?
