[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 988395, member: 18945"] (from another thread--I didn't want to hijack it there) [warning-thread hijack alert!] I agree, that we depend way too much on computers and other modern devices--especially those using advanced microchip technology, but we have to be careful about throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Keep in mind, that it was 'grandpa' that gave us the brucellosis outbreaks where 70% of the North American herds were estimated to be infected, the Hoof and Mouth epidemics of the early 1900s, and the dust bowl in the 20s-30s. It is in areas of the world today, like China and North Africa, where they are still doing things "like our grandpas did" that these controllable diseases are still very prevalent tho we do still have an occasional small outbreak in modern nations. China, now embarking on a self sustainability program for food, are making the same mistakes grandpa did--huge areas in the northern part of that country have turned into blowing duststorms and the soil won't grow crap now. Grandpa did us a great service in developing our modern breeds and breeding practices, and started us down the road to EPDs and such, but let's face it, Grandpa made some serious errors as well, and they very easily could have been much much worse had science and medicine not stepped in to curtail some of his bad practices. "Grandpa", is a sword that cuts both ways. ACV doesn't hurt that I know of, but you could pour grape koolaid in the water and get the same results and the cows will drink it just as well--but then, they'll drink from a muddy hoofprint too, if it's their only option.
