Mark Zuckerberg raising cows by feeding them dry fruits, beer; says wants to make world's best beef
Tech billionaire Mark Zuckerberg, the head of Meta, Facebook, and Instagram, has unveiled his latest passion – raising cows in style on his vast estate in Hawaii. Zuckerberg, who already owns a portion of Kauai island, announced on Instagram that he is raising Wagyu and Angus cattle at Ko'olau Ranch on the island with the goal of producing some of the highest-quality beef globally.
In an Instagram post on Wednesday, Zuckerberg shared a photo of himself smiling with a marbled and perfectly seared cut of beef in front of him, emphasizing the luxurious and high-quality nature of his cattle venture. To ensure top-notch beef, Zuckerberg mentioned that he is feeding his cows macadamia meal made from expensive macadamia nuts and providing them with locally-brewed artisanal beer.
"Started raising cattle at Ko'olau Ranch on Kauai, and my goal is to create some of the highest quality beef in the world. The cattle are wagyu and angus, and they'll grow up eating macadamia meal and drinking beer that we grow and produce here on the ranch," Zuckerberg wrote in his post.
Addressing concerns about the environmental impact of beef production, Zuckerberg asserted his commitment to responsible and ethical farming practices. "We want the whole process to be local and vertically integrated. Each cow eats 5,000-10,000 pounds of food each year, so that's a lot of acres of macadamia trees. My daughters help plant the mac trees and take care of our different animals," he explained. "We're still early in the journey, and it's fun improving on it every season. Of all my projects, this is the most delicious."
While some Instagram users applauded Zuckerberg's venture into beef production, others criticized him for the perceived environmental impact and ethical concerns. Vegan commenters accused him of hypocrisy, pointing out that despite claims of caring for the cattle, they would ultimately end up on his dinner table.
Zuckerberg's venture into cattle ranching stands in contrast to the interests of fellow tech billionaire Bill Gates, who advocates for lab-grown meat. Gates has expressed concerns about the environmental impact of traditional meat production and has suggested a shift toward synthetic beef to address climate change.
