I hauled water to my dads black cows today. I was watching them drink.......I wondered........is there any data comparing black vs. red cattle and water consumption. Water is getting to be more precious all the time. How much more water does it take to fatten a black steer vs. a red steer in aa feedlot. What about cows. How much more water does it take over a ten year period for a black cow cow to raise calves than a red cow. Has any data been collected? If we could extend the life of say.......the Ogalala aquifer ten years.......wouldn't it be worth it to switch to red cattle. If we don't do this we will destroy the planet. If it would save just one gallon of water.......wouldn't it be worth it?
