Did you know for every pound of plant-based protein, there are four pounds of fibrous waste that can only be fed to ruminant animals? These ruminant animals (cattle) upcycle these indigestible byproducts into nutrient-dense protein for people. Cattle can utilize almond hulls, soybean meal, brewers grains, beet pulp, pea pulp, potato peelings, and even whole vegetables or grains that fail grading. Cattle are incredible and play a vital part in our entire food system!
