Not disagreeing with what you said Jim but remember pigs started outside first then moved in doors. Once you get out of real cow country, where the ground it too rough to row crop, it changes the equation. I have a few cows, one because I like them and two because I have a few patches of hay here and there and so the cows save me from having to deal with selling it to horse people. Fences are gone in our part of the world and depending on your layout a mile of fence can fence in 40 acres or it can fence in 3.
Just part of the evolution of farming.
