U.S States with the Fewest Cows

So a medium sized livestock carried holds say 4,000 cattle, on the higher end due to them being young. This is only 80% of the cattle of one train. So, 250 trips from a livestock carrier to Hawaii. LA-Honolulu at 10 knots is 12.6 days at sea. Combining ship loading at both ports, and the round trip, it is safe to say 27 days, with 1.8 added for port activities. We will not need to hire truck to ship cattle from the railyard to port, as LA port has a yard. This is 6750 days for one ship. Unacceptable. Currently 150 ships are in LA port. Therefore...if some kind JetPunker donates 150 ships or we hire out other ships, 45 days. Let's say 50. If we overlap both parts, get some more trains....50 days total. Not counting the 5 day cattle meet and greet for them to meet each other. Once in Honolulu, they will will spread across Hawaii. Kahoʻolawe is completely abandonded due to lack of water (we must build irrigation for them), so this is 28780.8 acres already. However, a cow requires 1 acre.

So Molokai has 260 sq mi of land and is already cattle ranching. This is 166400 more acres, and 166400 more cows. 195180 cows have homes already. 804820 to go. Another 465408 can be had by evicting 168,307 people from Maui. Niihau has 84 people. Evicting them yields just 294932 cows to go. Lanai is 98% owned by a man who bought it from a Dole banana company spin-off. Evicting 3,367 people later, and eminent domain, 89920 more cows. The rest can be spread across the rest of the islands. Also, many small islands.

This is assuming that all the trains stay on their tracks. But there are approximately 1475 derailments per year in the US. Now, cows are hardy beasts and they’d probably be OK. But if just one goes off the tracks at a junction, you’re left with a hell of a lot of mooers getting very hot and bothered in close quarters, backed up for miles on end behind the derailment. Clearly, the only solution is a squadron of B-52 bombers and as many massive parachutes as it’s possible to manufacture (I’d imagine this will be outsourced to Bangladesh but it’s important to ensure quality control with cow parachutes - a faulty one can mean disaster, not just for the cow, but possibly for any person(s) beneath the cow).

Lots of shipping time from Bangladesh and also we would need to get B52s, which I calculate to be harder to procure than trains and ships. At all times there must be an extra ship and trucks going along side them. I have only 1,000,000 bovines procured. I can't afford to loose any. We could also drive the cattle in one massive cattle drive on I-10.
