Literally how hard is it to just feed cows the food they’re meant to eat.
Cows are large, so I’m sure it would require a lot, but can cows get drunk?

Don’t feed cows macadamia nuts, they like grass, so please feed them that.
This is a non-issue. What one man does in one ranch should not be the focus of this sub.
There doesn’t seem to be much to like about this guy.
It’s pretty stunning to me how these tech megadouches go right to being colonialists in Hawaii. I’m surprised he isn’t tromping around the islands in a pith helmet.
