About a third of a steer is used for beef production. The rest of the animal is used to make by-products found in medicines, cosmetics, detergents, insulation, and much more!
Q: Is raising beef sustainable?
A: Beef production has gotten a bad rap, but it’s more sustainable than ever with a 10% improvement in water quality, 7% reduction in landfill contributions, 3% reduction in water use, 2% reduction in resource consumption and energy use, and 2% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
