Good operators get cattle to market with a smaller carbon footprint than poor operators. Let the market work to have green cattle.

Oh, I thought he meant green as in lacking condition.

The price for green is going to rise in the near future.

we can't afford beef in the stores now, I don't see anyone paying more for green or organic.

Beef is not expensive, the farmer is finally getting paid for what he works hard all year for. Average wage of 20 bucks an hour you can afford beef. Just stop paying for all the toys and trips you non beef producers have. If any thing price could go up more yet. And if you are in it for a fast green buck go back to your day job.

Happytrails the the way to get cattle to market with the lowest possible carbon footprint is by finishing them in a feedlot. And Grassfarmer when it comes to cattle your definition of "green" is the correct one IMHO
