I agree with this, although I’m not an expert on cattle rearing. It seems to me like cows on grazeland generally have net positive lives, and cows on feedlots have arguably net negative lives (although it still seems way less bad than a pig or chicken CAFO). The longer a cow spends on pasture the more likely they had a net positive life, e.g. 100% grass-fed cows in the US might have pretty decent lives.
Good point. I feel weird admitting it but it does seem like some cows probably have net-positive lives right now

Agreed. I guess farmed animals have positive lives under the conditions required by the Naturland standard.
