I bet I could get a bunch of white cows super cheap since they aren't cool anymore.

1. cheap white cows
2. pasture only
3. never sell
4. profit

It's worth a shot.

I think I could easily get access to as many as 25 acres right now. How many white cows can I put on something like that? 100? 200? More?

It has really good hay growth and is on a sunny hillside just west of Bonner Springs A.K.A. the most desired cow farm grazing land known to man, if that informs the answer.

About 20, probably. You need to think much bigger. You government check is going to be pretty small otherwise.

the more cows the better I think. also the grass being good is actually bad for you getting money according to how sddad was explaining this (I was fading in and out of paying attention so maybe this is not as critical as it sounded). like, there was some multiplier of cows and how bad the grass or drought was or something and then also some bonus thing for cows that actually died and you get that paper.

Rage Against the McKee · « **Reply #29 on:** September 30, 2014, 11:15:48 AM »

Wait, so you have to starve a cow to death to get the money?

steve dave · « **Reply #30 on:** September 30, 2014, 11:17:27 AM »

also additional corporations and ownership interests and junk = more paper. if you have some cows and then your son has some cows and then your other son has some cows and your dad has some cows and then you have some cows with different corporations with your buds and the grass all sucks you get more paper. the more confusing your setup of cows is the more you get from what I understood. does this sound correct to cow people itt?

no, I don't think any of sddad's cows starved to death. some probably died from other stuff though. which is essentially starving to death.

Would poaching count?

Hypothetically?

I'm kind of surprised that cattle rustlin' hasn't made a comeback in the Obama economy, really. Sounds easier than cattle growin'.

Would anyone be interested in a side of beef, or twenty, in the next year or so?

Meade is good for one HS kid stealing like 3 cows and taking them to Beaver, OK trying to sell them at the cow sale about once every 3 years. always pretty lol.

I have a hunch some important details are missing. Having said that, the ranching industry is a very powerful industry that definitely finds/places allies in congress. Waste is never an "accident" or "mindless mistake".

Yes, you don't want to tangle with Big Cow. They have deep leather pockets.

big cow is becoming big gas from what I also understand from sddad. like he has gas wells all over his land and he wants them to come shazbot! the crap out of it and get more gas but they haven't and I think maybe the ground isn't good for fracking but never give up hope that they shazbot! the living crap out of your land and you get that paper is apparently his motto.

also big wind energy. his ideal setup is a wasteland of fracked land filled with gas wells and then covered up with wind turbines and black cows. that's when you've made it in this crazy thing we call life.

Self feeding cycle. Windmills screw up air temp around them, fracking waste screws up soil, therefore no good grass. Multiple Corps to run the wind, gas, fracking, cows, etc through to complicate the crap out of everything. Huge paycheck for bad grass, bad cows, and complicated set up.

Who in the government do you tell that you have cows? Do they come out and check to see if you're lying? I could see myself having zero cows and telling the government that I have 10,000 cows. 10,000 cows in a dirt field. No grass. How much money could I get for that?
