Cows produce massively more milk over their lifespan than they do beef?

Yeah, that's exactly what I was going to say - milk yields for intensive dairy cows are really high these days.

So? The cost of raising a calf to adulthood has longer to amortize as a milk cow, is that what you mean?

Maybe we should be measuring in grams of protein.

The diagram doesn't have cost in it at all...

The cost in emissions, I mean. Yanno, what the chart shows.
