A billionaire and his millions….
….are soon parted. Google (you really want to trust those guys with your food, too) is financing a project in England to grow “cultured” or “cloned” hamburger. Not sure which to call it, except maybe disgusting. Almost nothing in this article is accurate but the money involved. http://appleinsider.com/articles/13/08/05/googles-brin-funds-332k-lab-grown-beef-hamburger-looks-to-make-meat-a-sustainable-resource

A sign of the times….
….what to do about our over-weight military recruits—and everyone else? You’d think the Pentagon might decide to feed them right instead of hoping to run them back into condition. Where’ve you been? The obvious answer is: liposuction! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2478403/Suck-Chubby-military-personnel-getting-liposuction-pass-Pentagons-body-fat-test.html Our guess is the chow halls are doling out extra portions of whole wheat bread as well! (Note: if you’re new here, this is all sarcasm.)

Speaking of England….
….Bill Walker weighs in with a recent picture of Traditional Devon’s TDA 3, now exactly two years old and we’re about to breed her. “3” is, of course, out of Tilbrook Cashtiller by Cutcombe Jaunty. Doesn’t get any better than that!

A few of my favorite…..
….People! My mate, Ivan Rowe, braving a gale to judge a Devon show at Camelford, England recently. The steward for the show was our Cornwall lass, Juliet Cleave. Our English project is all the stronger for the fact that four of our seven partners have been judges in Devon circles for many years. If Ivan tells you a cow is “fit”, take it to the bank. It’s an integrity he took to people judging too, as a former Queen’s magistrate.

The Class of “A”….
….at least so far. The first five calves gather under a tree (that should come down and will soon if I don’t get at it) with baby-sitters U3 and R2. (click to see them all) We seem to have hit a pause with 15 yet to come.
