Well, if you knew anything about raising quality beef, you would know that there IS a science to doing it in today's market.

Well A&M has 50,000 people doing various things.

There's a lot more going on down here than animal science.

However our animal science folk do get tons of research dollars.

I wonder how much of that budget goes into engineering a sheep that likes to be fucked by toothless farmers?

A&M perfected that in the 60's while most of America was whining about aliens.
