Scientist, arn't they the same folks who said the earth was flat, the sun revolves around earth. Science [ knowledge] is directly related to time, a hundred years from now scientist will make what we know today seem elementary, they will not be any smarter than the scientist we have today they will have just had more time to work on it. Thankfully there are scientist out there who are willing to acknowledge that all of what we know today is not "fact" and everything we don't know is not "fiction". Those are the ones who learned something today that leads to the discoveries of tomorrow. As for me, I'm going to give it a try, if I see that the cows and calves are less stressed because I weaned them on March 6 and not March 16 or they do better weaning on a Friday instead of Monday, I'll do it. Thats not hocus pocus, that better management. Oh, I tried doing a "rain dance" too when we were in a drought, didn't rain that day though, :shock: :roll: but it did about 3 weeks later.
