This question came up in ca.environment.  I understand that cows
produce a lot of methane because they ruminate.  However, there is
disagreement as to which exit the methane uses.  Someone in
ca.environment said it was definitely the front end, while an old
article in the Economist about air pollution definitely indicated it
was the rear end.

Is there an authority on the matter here?  Please send a copy of your
reply by e-mail.  Thanks in advance.
