*With a foreword by Gabe Brown, bestselling author of Dirt to Soil How can we learn from our mistakes and pave a way for sustainable, nutritious, local meat? The COVID-19 pandemic exposed the vulnerabilities of our globalized food system and highlighted the desperate need for local and regional supplies of healthy meat. We must replace corn-based feedlots, which are responsible for significant climate emissions, nitrogen pollution, and animal suffering. Grass-Fed Beef for a Post-Pandemic World outlines a hopeful path out of our broken food system via regional networks of regeneratively produced meat. In 2017, Ridge Shinn and Lynne Pledger went to market with Big Picture Beef, a company that partners with farmers across the Northeast to increase access to wholesale markets while promoting holistic grazing management techniques. The result? Increased health benefits for consumers, the environment, and livestock. In Grass Fed-Beef for a Post-Pandemic World, you'll find information assembled from the fields of ecology, climate science, nutrition, and animal welfare, along with on-the-farm stories from Ridge's travels as a consultant all over the United States and abroad. You'll discover how regenerative grazing can: restore degraded farmland protect against droughts and floods increase biodiversity combat climate change by reducing emissions and sequestering carbon contribute to regional economic development produce nutrient-dense, healthy meat for consumers Grass-Fed Beef for a Post-Pandemic World is not just for beef producers, but for anyone wondering how our farmers and ranchers can raise cattle while also caring for the local and global environment.

Academic Paper from the year 2019 in the subject Agrarian Studies, grade: 3.78, , course: Beef Cattle Production, language: English, abstract: Livestock production is an integral part of Ethiopiäs agricultural sector and plays a vital role in the national economy. As the country has a large livestock population, which ranks first in Africa and tenth in the world, it has much to gain from the growing global markets for livestock products. Therefore, this study aims to give further inside how this can be achieved in the exemplary case of beef fattening. The study was conducted in the Southern Nation Nationality and People Regional Government in Wolaita Zone to assess beef cattle fattening and marketing system in the case of Damot Pulasa Woreda. In the present study stratified sampling method was used and a total of 120 households were selected for survey study. To collect the data both primary and secondary data source were used and the collected data were analyzed by using descriptive. The study indicated that the main purposes of beef cattle fattening were for 25, (78.1%) to start their fattening activity to replace the old oxen after the end of the plowing period and only small proportion 7, (21.9%) of the fatteners were income oriented respectively. The common beef cattle selection criteria were health condition, physical appearance, sex, age are 46.2%, 30.14%, 12.32%, 11.34% respectively. Major feed resources were natural pasture (56.25%), Maize and Enset tuber (31.25%), frushika (10%), grazing (2.5%). Beef cattle fattening constraints were feed shortage (34.4%), lack of capital (25%), market problem (15.6%), disease and parasite (9.375%), lack of extension service (9.375%), and drought (6.25%). The frequency of fattening per year was 21(65.6%) of cattle fatteners in the study area were fattening only one time per year and the rest 7(21.9%) and 4(12.5%) were fattening two times and three times per year respectively. Major beef cattle fattening opportunities were market demand 40.3%, feed resource and water availability 31.7% and comfortable environments 28%. Beef cattle marketing constraints were road problem 43%, unequal demand and surplus 29.2% and market distance 27.8%.Therefore based on the result we endorse that the farmers should be well awarded on beef cattle fattening and marketing system, use improved forage for supplementary feed and should be well-informed about market condition and further large scale research should be conducted on the area of beef marketing.

Die Fixierung der Sauen über lange Zeiträume in Kastenständen geht dem Ende zu. In diesem laufenden Prozess ist der Schritt in die freie Abferkelung wohl der größte und zugleich schwierigste. Schließlich geht es nicht nur um die Forderungen der Gesellschaft an die Landwirtschaft sondern um das Wohl der in den Ställen arbeitenden Menschen und um die gleichwertige Achtung gegenüber Geschöpfen, egal ob es sich um ein 1.000 Gramm schweres Ferkel oder um eine 300 kg schwere Zuchtsau handelt.Dieser Veränderungsprozess, der sicher nicht mehr umkehrbar sein wird, braucht mit Sicherheit eine Zeitspanne von mindestens 10 Jahren. Nötig ist die Unterstützung und Begleitung, sei es von der Zucht, der Fütterung, dem Management und vor allem auch von der Haltung. Dieses Buch liefert vor allem die Grundlagen für möglichst vorhersehbare Funktionsabläufe im Abferkelbereich aus Sicht der Haltung. Im Vordergrund stehen dabei nicht die gesetzlichen Minimalforderungen sondern der Blick auf das langfristige Ganze und mögliche künftige Entwicklungen. Die Berücksichtigung der Ansprüche der Tiere führt im Ergebnis zu langlebigen Sauen mit relativ niedrigem Medikamenten- und Betreuungsaufwand. Letztendlich ist für die Wirtschaftlichkeit der Sauenhaltung nicht nur die Zahl an abgesetzten Ferkeln je Sau und Jahr entscheidend sondern die Optimierung von Kosten und Leistungen. Letztendlich sollen die Schweineställe einen Beitrag zur gesellschaftlichen Akzeptanz und zur Freude seiner Bewirtschafter leisten.
