21. No grain at all is required to produce beef.
Edited on Sun Aug-26-07 05:34 PM by pnwmom
Cattle and sheep thrive on grasses which are unfit for human consumption. (We lack the second stomach needed to process them.) And these grasses often grow in places where grains and vegetables wouldn't.

It is a choice -- not a necessity -- to send these animals to feedlots to be fed grains before slaughter.
