Oh okay, just for the record, even the Canadian Beef Cattle Research Center agrees that it takes about 1910 gallons of fresh water to produce a pound of beef. Again, this is easy to search for, and if you do you will find many estimates in the ball park of 2000 gallons of water per pound of beef. So here's one link of many you can find:
How much water is used to make a pound of beef? | BeefResearch.ca
I was talking about daily consumption.
This is why we're done. You jump up and down and criticize me, when in fact your opinions are just plain wrong. In this case, you were off by a factor of 200,000. Did I get that math correct?
I was talking about daily consumption.
You said: 1 gallon for 100 pounds.
Daily
Reality is: 2000 gallons for 1 pound.
Unknown total weight with an unknown butcher date.
We can all see your expertise showing

No I just didn't say daily.
Also you missed this
"If the beef animal itself only needs about 10 gallons of water per day to function, what accounts for the rest of the water (footprint) required for that 16 oz steak? Often in research terms the water measured in the total water footprint is broken into three colour categories. The footprint includes an estimate of how much surface and ground (blue) water is used to water cattle, make fertilizer, irrigate pastures and crops, process beef, etc. And then there is a measure of how much rain (green) water falls on pasture and feed crops, and finally how much water is needed to dilute runoff from feed crops, pastures and cattle operations (grey water). Adding these blue, green and grey numbers for cattle produced throughout the world produces a global “water footprint” for beef.
It is worth noting that more than 95% of the water used in beef production is green water — it is going to rain and snow whether cattle are on pasture or not. And it is important to remember of all water used one way or another it all gets recycled."
So there is irrigation which is not required. We never used it once on our farm. Fertilizer we did but the water goes right back into the water table.
And you missed this
"Since the objective is to produce protein, couldn’t we just grow more pulse crops such as peas, beans, lentils and chickpeas and still meet protein requirements, use less water and benefit the environment?
Let’s take a look at why that theory doesn’t hold true. "
And this
"Both annual crops and forages are important in Canadian agriculture. But, when people wonder why we just don’t produce more plant-based protein by growing more peas, beans and lentils
, it’s not just a matter of swapping out every acre of pasture to produce a field of peas. It’s a matter of playing to your strengths — recognize the potential of the land for its best intended purpose.
"
and this
"Beef industry plays an important diverse role
The fact is, today’s beef cattle were not the first bovid species to set foot on what we now consider Canadian agricultural land. For thousands and thousands of years herds of as many as 30 million bison roamed across North America, including Canada, eating forages and depositing nutrients (manure) back into the soil and living in ecological harmony with thousands of plant and animal species.
Today, the five million head of beef cattle being raised on Canadian farms can’t duplicate that natural system, but as they are managed properly they do provide a valuable contribution to the environment just as the bison did. Beef cows and the pastures they use help to preserve Canada’s shrinking natural grassland ecosystems by providing plant and habitat biodiversity for migratory birds and endangered species, as well as habitat for a host of upland animal species. Properly managed grazing systems also benefit wetland preservation, while the diversity of plants all help to capture and store carbon from the air in the soil."
A point which refuted you claim about cattle damaging top-soil.
And this
"
Water cycles
Simply focusing on water use per pound of product ignores the water cycle. The water cycle is important – humans, wheat, corn, lentils, poultry, pork, eggs, milk, forages and beef production all use water,
but they don’t use it up. They aren’t sponges that endlessly absorb water.
Nearly all the water that people or cattle consume ends up back in the environment through manure, sweat, or water vapor.
We know that most of the water plants take up from the soil is transpired back into the air. Like city water, the water that beef processing facilities take out of the river at one end of the plant is treated and returns to the same river at the other end of the plant.
New technologies to recycle and re-use water can reduce the amount of water needed for beef processing by 90 per cent."
Fact is your own source supports what I have been saying the whole time. Try to read more than 5 words then link something.... Hilarious. Ive never seen someone refute their overall points with their own sources in such a fashion. Great own goal....
Read your sources son.
