      One of us sure is ignorant.

      We don’t have feedlot dairy’s here.

      You can literally go for a drive and watch dairy cows eat green grass.

      They wrap hay bales in this plastic stuff that makes the hay start to ferment which apparently the cows fucking love to eat.

        (Side note: that fermented hay is called Silage and fun fact it’s one of the single foulest smelling substances produced by humanity. Smells more like raw sewage than actual raw sewage, and frequently triggers asthma attacks. Cows, inexplicably, go absolutely ape for it. A silage farm near where I grew up had frequent breakins from nearby pastured cows who had figured out the latches so they could sneak in.)
