00:00What is it that is keeping beef affordable?
00:03It is milk consumption.
00:04Because it's in circulation.
00:05You see, you have an asset.
00:06If the only thing that you can have from it is its flesh,
00:09then you will be required to firstly raise it to its maximum weight
00:14and then you get only one thing from it.
00:15What?
00:16Its flesh.
00:18Flesh in certain kilograms.
00:20Whereas, if that animal becomes perpetually productive for you
00:25over a range of 5 to 7 years
00:28and then as the final end product it gives you its flesh as well,
00:33then it's a far more lucrative proposition.
00:35So, take away milk from the equation
00:39and even beef consumption would drastically fall
00:43for purely economic reasons.
00:45The economics would not remain sustainable anymore.
00:48So, it's the milk consumer that has to realize
00:53that he is the driving factor behind cow slaughter.
