Does cattle grazing damage the land?
No. In fact, cattle serve a valuable role in protecting the environment and ecosystem with their ability to convert forage humans cannot consume into nutrient-dense food such as meat and milk. Cattle grazing can be used to minimize the invasion of non-native plant species and to reduce the risk of wildfires by decreasing the amount of flammable material on the land. America’s farmers and ranchers remain committed to caring for the nation’s environmental resources and place a high value on the quality of the land.
