Evita is interested in prairies, especially tall grass prairies, so we visited a tall grass prairie preserve in Kansas on the way back home. This is still original prairie, looking almost exactly the same as it did 130+ years ago (except for the tour bus). It gave us a new perspective on prairies and on cattle. The guide considered trees to be weeds and cattle resting in the shade under trees weren't doing their job, which is to put on weight eating the rich prairie grass.
