I was actually referring to his previous post, which he made simultaneously with mine.

That post makes no attempt at all to answer my questions or even address the post that it quotes. Just more bluster and rhetoric and provably wrong assertions.

I don’t have any intention of wasting my time with someone who has so little idea about cattle agronomy that they believe that a feed conversion ratio of 600 is plausible, or that grass is food, or that poor people in third world nations don’t eat beef or goat.

I’m sure at this stage that everyone can see quite clearly how credible Crazyhorse is on his topic. I could keep going just to bait him into spouting more silliness, but when a position has hit rock bottom, it can’t be discredited any more. I’d just be trolling.
