Cow-calf stage significant contributor of greenhouse gases

The cow-calf stage is the most significant contributor of greenhouse gases during beef production, according to a paper for the Journal of Animal Science which showed that overall beef production has a carbon footprint ranging from 10.7 kg to 22.6 kg of carbon dioxide equivalent per kg of hot carcass weight. In the cow-calf phase, the cow gives birth and nurses the calf until the calf is six to 10 months old.
