As anyone who has seen "The Wizard of Oz" can testify, cows love riding in tornadoes! ;-)

We just started binge watching Yellowstone. Would have thought Montana or Utah (where it's shot) would make the cut.

For some reason I thought Texas and California would've had too many people for there to be more cows but I guess I thought wrong

Texas isn't particularly dense outside of the cities, and it's a big state, so I don't see why it wouldn't have cows

What encourages cattle farming? Subsidies? Or, I guess you need to have the local industry (to buy/sell; it probably is expensive to transport cows; and I assume there are legal hurdles when crossing state lines).

I guess some/a lot of cattle farmers also grow their own feed. So you need also need land for .. I think they eat feed corn. And it has to be close enough to the cattle location.

Maybe ND/MT are too high latitude/cold? But Wisconsin is there.

I know there are some cool youtube farming channels, which kind of get into the logistics, like Sonne Farms, and 10th generation dairyman. Seems likes a rewarding line of work.
