(Verse 1)
Herferds are belchin’ out in Redford, where they’re preferred,
Munchin’ grass and chewin’ cud, not a care, not a word.
Angus fartin’ in Corpus, blendin’ in right among us,
With a moo and a burp, they sure don’t fuss.
Charolois hit the road for Santa Fe holidays,
Livin’ the good life, belchin’ all day.
(Chorus)
Cattle are belchin’ all over the place,
From wide open fields to the leftist urban space.
From the Rockies down to the Rio Grande,
They’re putting out gas, hard ta withstand.
They’re chewin’ and farting from dawn to dusk,
It’s grass gas, no need to rush.
(Verse 2)
Limousin smelling’ pretty, in between New Orleans and Salinas,
Headin’ where the grass is green, that’s where you’ll see us.
Simmental’s call Granite Falls a cattle congregation,
Brahman, a charmer, brings charm to Palmer’s station.
Texas Longhorns, no more corn, smelliin’ up Elkhorn fields,
Their horns spread wide fartin’ like wagon wheels.
(Chorus)
Cattle are belchin’ all over the place,
From wide open fields to a bustling space.
From the Rockies down to the Rio Grande,
They’re gasin’ up the place, hard ta withstand.
They’re chewin’ and farting from dawn to dusk,
It’s moo thunder, no need to rush.
(Verse 3)
Shorthorn’s reborn in Yamhorn’s every morn,
Gelbvieh keep shelves full in Telluride, no gas forlorn.
Brangus famous in Vegas, crop dustin’ the strip,
Santa Gertrudus movin’ through the Clovis dust, a bad trip.
Beefmaster growin’ faster down in Lancaster plains,
Red Polls got no control, and Lone Knoll complains.
(Bridge)
Murray Grey munchin’ hay near Monterey Bay,
Galloway leads the way, fartin’ as they play.
Devons expel heaven out in Evanston,
Cowboy’s say Piedmontese please, love that flavor.
Belgian Blue, workin’ up an Albuquerque air biscuit,
A Wagyu is new in Fort Killeen, farts bellowing.
(Chorus)
Cattle are belchin’ all over the place,
From wide open fields to the urban space.
From the Rockies down to the Rio Grande,
They’re cutting one loose, barking spiders.
They’re fartin’ and mooing from dawn to dusk,
It’s cattle biology, no need to rush.
(Verse 4)
Belted Galloway, every day in Santa Fe,
Movin’ slow, takin’ it easy, that’s the cowboy way.
Cows are munchin’, burpin’, and throat-blaring, expelling,
From high plains to hilltops, the Left’s pootin’ themselves,
So tip your hat to the herds that leave cowboys in clouds of it,
A cow’s life is simple, clearly the left don’t know ________.
(Outro)
The Left can’t handle these cattle belchin’ everywhere,
Fillin’ up the meadows with that beefy breeze.
I think dinosaurs and bison and mastodons pooted too,
Flatulence is here to stay, and we’re just passin’ through.
From ranch to range, the story’s the same,
But if ya wanna know what really burns the left…
Cattle are belchin’ ‘n’ fartin’ freely, and they ain’t ashamed a ________.

Cattle Belching All Over the Place
by Alan Nafzger (2011)
In Redford fields, the Herfords graze,
Mouths full of grass, in sunlit haze.
Their belches rise without a care,
A natural chorus fills the air.
Angus in Corpus, blending in,
A moo, a fart, with a toothy grin.
Shar-lays roam to Santa Fe,
Belching freely through the day.
From the Rockies down to the Rio Grande,
Cattle spread gas across the land.
Chewing cud from dawn till night,
Filling the air, with no respite.
The plains may stretch, the winds may blow,
But cattle gas is sure to flow.
Limousins scent the open plains,
From New Orleans to where grass remains.
Simmentals gather in Granite Falls,
While Brahmans charm with gas-filled calls.
Texas Longhorns, horns wide and proud,
Belch and fart beneath the cloud.
Shorthorns rise in Yamhorn’s dawn,
Gelbvieh keeps Telluride drawn.
Brangus breezes through Vegas’ night,
While Santa Gertrudis takes its flight.
Beefmasters roam Lancaster’s hills,
Red Polls complain, despite their skills.
Murray Greys munch near Monterey Bay,
Galloways farting through their play.
Devons expel the sweetest air,
While Piedmontese glide without a care.
Belgian Blues in Albuquerque’s gust,
Wagyu winds leave Killeen in dust.
Belted Galloways move with ease,
Belching softly on the breeze.
From high plains down to valley floor,
Cattle keep farting, forevermore.
And while the world may wrinkle its nose,
Cows live on, and the methane flows.
The Left may rant, the Right may sigh,
But cows don’t care, they still reply.
With every belch, a story’s told,
A life of grass, simple and bold.
So tip your hat to the herds in place,
Cattle belching all over the place.
Are you Kidding me?
The issue of cows belching methane, specifically within the context of climate change and environmental impact, became a topic of concern in the late 20th century. However, it gained significant momentum in the 2000s when environmental and climate activists, scientists, and policymakers began to focus more on greenhouse gas emissions.
Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, and livestock, particularly cattle, produce methane during digestion through a process called enteric fermentation. As the environmental movement and climate change debates heated up, many on the political Left, particularly environmentalists and progressive policymakers, started addressing the role of agriculture, especially livestock farming, in contributing to global methane emissions.
In 2006, the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) released a report titled “Livestock’s Long Shadow,” which highlighted the environmental impact of livestock, including methane emissions from cattle. This report brought the issue into the mainstream conversation.
By the 2010s, methane from cattle became a more prominent talking point among environmental groups, and it was frequently linked to discussions about sustainable agriculture, reducing meat consumption, and exploring alternatives to traditional livestock farming. Many activists pushed for solutions like improving livestock feed, using feed additives to reduce methane emissions, or promoting plant-based diets to lower the environmental impact of animal agriculture.
Today, the discussion continues, and while not limited to the political Left, it’s commonly associated with progressive efforts to address climate change, reduce greenhouse gases, and promote environmental sustainability.
