Mark Zuckerberg of $META has said he's raising cattle on beer and macadamia nuts to "create some of the highest quality beef in the world," per CNBC.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg revealed on Tuesday that he is engaged in cattle farming at his Hawaiian ranch, sharing details of the project on Instagram and Facebook. Zuckerberg expressed his aim to produce some of the highest-quality beef globally, stating that he is raising wagyu and angus cattle. These cattle will be fed macadamia meal and beer produced on the ranch.
While offering beer to cattle is not a common practice among farmers, Zuckerberg mentioned it as part of the feeding process. He emphasized the need for a substantial amount of macadamia trees due to each cow consuming 5,000 to 10,000 pounds of feed annually. The Facebook founder highlighted his desire to maintain a local and vertically integrated feeding and raising process.
In his social media post, Zuckerberg stated that the project is in its early stages, expressing the enjoyment of improving it with each season. He referred to it as his most delicious project and shared a photo of a meat cut.
Zuckerberg's ranch, Ko’olau Ranch, located on Kauai, has been a subject of secrecy for years. He faced criticism for acquiring land on the island, particularly for pressuring Native Hawaiians to sell their ancestral land through legal action. In 2017, Zuckerberg issued an apology through an op-ed in the local Kauai newspaper and vowed to drop the lawsuits.
Recent reports suggest that Zuckerberg is constructing an underground bunker at his extensive Hawaii compound, adding to the intrigue surrounding his property on the island.
