Too bad the sharing can't work. Saw a program where a university was
studying the impact of food on cows. They put a sanitary opening in the
cows stomach so they could tell what happens when various things were
feed to the cow. When the cow ate natural grass & grain all was fine.
But, when the cow was feed all those feed lot additives, salmonella
began to set up in the cow's stomach. It's not nice to fool with Mother
Nature.

Even with sharing, it results in more meat than I can store! But I 
continue to hope...
