comming from a family of cattle ranchers, we would call 16 cows on 160 acres a waist of land. if your 160 acres can only feed 16 cows, then you bought very very pour producing land and you might as well give up as your paying more in land tax than its worth. on the flip side, if you can convince some customers to pay 3 times more for your cattle by saying that there better with these numbers then you might be able to make some money.
but ya, generly Canadian beef is the best you can get, and if you want to go another step further, alberta AAA is about the best in the world, and yes there is a difference between alberta and the lower class stuff BC tries to pass off as good beef.
but as for McDonnalds switching to anything other than canadian beef, nope they can't due to gov regulations. they do however use american cheese slices as there is no regulation against that. But my McDonnalds days are all but over due to Five Guys Burgers and fries opening up in kamloops.
