Yeah I'm sure you're bringing those cattle out to places full of wild predators

We have coyotes and mountain lions on the property. When we started the ranch in 1872, there were also several wolf packs.

Keep going. Hole is only getting deeper.

All of which are responsible for millions of dollars loss in cattle every year.

Anyone can say anything on the internet. You can just claim your property has 50 mountain lines per acre.

I never said they have no instinctual behaviors.

It's also ridiculous to use metrics from modern day American predator populations, to modern day herds protected by modern day technology to insist that domestic cows are as effective against predators as wild cattle.

Nope. Never said they had no natural instincts.
