So are you saying the SCALE of production, changing from 40 to 1000 cow dairies and changing from 50 beef in an Iowa farm lot with a lean-to shed (or 1800 head in Garvo's sheds) to 50,000 or 100,000 head in an open western feedlot changes the cattle from being LIVEstock to a being an "ECONOMIC COMMODITY" like #2 corn?
Nope it doesn’t change. It’s always an economic commodity unless your a hobby farmer.
I see your point of view. Only "hobby farmers" and obsolete 40 cow dairy farmers see our cattle as living creatures to be cared for as such.
