Everything I’ve read has said the opposite, but I’m no farmer.
I see lots of studies saying the grass and hay fed cattle produce more methane from the animals. Diets with high insoluble fiber are diets that create more methane. That said, grain production uses more CO2 than hay or pasture land.
Best thing is low fiber greenery, but that shit is expensive, and industrial farming goes with grass or grain.
It was conjecture and then a discussion. There was no argument happening. Sometimes it’s fun to just have a discussion and use that to get to the truth.
Because I used their arguments to dig deeper into real sources. Yeah it was kind of lazy to not post mine throughout, but it was just seat of my pants. Like I said it started as pure conjecture based on my existing knowledge of cows digestion and the process of fermentation. I was wrong but also partially right in my assumptions.

Yeah, it’s the quality of the feed, not necessarily it being grain. I had added an edit but you probably were commenting before that.
I don’t get why people have these kind of arguments without providing sources. It makes you both look argumentative and not very trustworthy.

If you’re curious here’s a starting point. https://www.journalofdairyscience.org/article/S0022-0302(25)00595-8/fulltext
Right, but how do you know who is talking from knowledge, and who isn’t?
Anyway, thanks for the reference, now I know :)

Specifically, it looks like the big thing is the content of insoluble fiber. If it’s fiber overload, you get lots of gas in their rumen.
