[QUOTE="Ted M, post: 7989641, member: 16272"] We have around 50 head of beef cattle here varying from cows down to calves, all the water to housing, grazing and our domestic properties is metered. Bit back of fag packet maths here but we sell around 10'000kg of actual beef each year never mind anything else which is used from the carcass. On average we use about one cube of water a day total. That's 36.5 litres per kg. A far cry from some of the thousands of litres/kg figures you see banded about. Yes I know that doesn't include the rainfall which grows the grass but if we removed the cows the rain wouldn't stop falling. [/QUOTE]
