I'm so old I Remember when:

I remember when no one thought about cow farts.
Unless you were standing behind the cow.

What about pigs, goats and other animals? They must too? Have not heard a thing about them.

Dogs and cats...oh my...I know from experience they get "windy" sometimes.

Really glad I am not the scientist tasked to study this!

I agree. And how many farts were around when the dinosaurs lived? People think cow farts are bad? What about herbivores that weighed hundreds of tons and were 110 feet long? It's not the cow farts that are the problem...

Gotta strain that bacon greese for another use Woot!

Got that.

 

[jxp]

This is probably bad but I don’t strain it I just leave it in the pan and then add some veggies and toss them around and put them in the oven.
Oven roasted carrots, squash, or Brussel sprouts with a coating of bacon fat are heavenly!
Lest you all worry about my arteries I don’t eat bacon every day!

If I leave bacon grease in the pan on the stove, it mysteriously disappears once the pan is cool enough to lick. I cannot even get too upset as the stovetop is at nose level. But your idea does sound yummy. I usually use olive oil when roasting veggies. The bacon grease is used for eggs, fried taters, colcannon, and such stovetop cookery.

Here in the north, our canisters are flour, sugar, coffee and tea. The lard was in a seperate container. We never saved bacon grease

Mom's set were Tupperware. In avocado green. Like the fridge.
Edit to add - sugar went into the largest canister, cornmeal in the next. Coffee was Maxwell House and came in it's own lidded can. I can't remember what was in the 2 smallest Tupperware bins.
Flour was bought in 25 lb sacks and stored in a lidded metal can that originally came full of frozen cherries or peaches from far flung farms in warmer climes. I can't remember if the fruit was ordered through Agway (farm store) or the Moose Club (social club).

The global live cattle population amounted to about 1.57 billion heads in 2023, up from approximately 1.51 million in 2021.

That's quite the population jump in 2 years.

Found this.

How many cattle are in the world?​

The global live cattle population amounted to about 1.57 billion heads in 2023, up from approximately 1.51 million in 2021.

So ... we can solve the cow overpopulation problem - and the cow fart issue at the same time by eating more hamburgers? Works for me!
