Probably not directly related, but since you are doing something for WV, I'll relate something my grandmother told me. She was born in 1917 and grew up in rural Upshur County, WV. Her parents raised everything they ate until well into their 70's. My grandmother once commented that beef cattle was the biggest change she saw. When she was young, nobody in the area had beef cattle. They raised pigs, chickens, and milk cows. My great grandfather used a team of work horses until he quit farming due to health around the early 1970's. I suspect that the prejudice against beef cattle was due to the hilly, forested terrain, where open pasture was at a premium. It was probably more cost effective to focus on the limited pasture land to support milk cows and work horses, hay crops for them, and crops such as corn, wheat, buckwheat, etc. With eight kids, I can see why milk, butter, and eggs might be a better investment portfolio than an occasional steak.
