Think about what we saw about how cattle are raised, then read one of these links on buffalo:

• BUFFALO / BISON

• Buffalo Hunt, 1846

and, look at these graphics on the waste and use of energy from modern animal production:

• The New York Times > Livestock’s High Energy Costs

• The New York Times >The Huge Flow of Animal Waste

When we meet the second time, you will write and tell me how we raise cattle now, and how does this compare to how cattle lived in the past.
