Cattle ranching is getting pretty amazing too, genetics especially. I swear you have to get everything blood tested once a year just to keep the pedigree's clean.
Another thing they got going is a collar you put on test animal's. Every time they put their head in a feed bunk to eat, it records which cattle eat the least and gain the most weight. So you keep those and cull the ones that eat more and still don't gain. It's pretty safe bet that the calves of those eat little gain big will do the same. So you are slowly building a group of cattle that genetically are more efficient. Crazy. It ain't two cowboys just leaning on a post spitting and scuffing holes in the dirt anymore.-WW
