Just came across this YouTube channel where a super fun guy talks about the ratio of cattle and sheep to gold and silver. Very interesting observations!

Hah! First, I would love to know how you ran across this and yes, I really liked it. Very down to earth for someone like me to understand. I think the girl right behind him the whole time knows something about silver too, she was very interested.

Very entertaining video, NumisEd! Tomorrow I'm selling all of my cows and buying silver. Oh wait, I don't have any cows.... I'll just buy some silver.

An interesting watch. Thank you for sharing.

Now, I just need to convince my cousins to trade me one of their cows for a few ounces of silver.

I will name her Gene and keep her in my basement lab at Harvard.

Thanks for sharing. Perhaps cows are overvalued and silver undervalued. I would guess current ranchers spend a lot more than earlier farmers that let cows roam and eat grass. I would also expect modern cows are larger and yield more beef / milk than their predecessor.
