CATTLE AND WATER

What is a Water Footprint?
Measuring the total environmental impact of Water Consumption.
It is far more complicated than simply adding up the volume of water consumed from start to finish.
So what can affect these numbers.......
* age and size of cattle sent to market
* geography - coastal or inland farming
* were cattle raised in pastures or feedlots?
The results can range from 3.3Litres to 221 Litres of water per kg of live weighed cattle.
Beef can be produced in many ways which adjusts these numbers, everyone has a different calculation.
