Yes, but IIRC, they didn't just feed mutton to cattle. The little dead lambies were ground up and added to the cow's regular feed, weren't they? It's not as if herbivore cattle suddenly turned into carnivores or omnivores. We tricked 'em into it. And, we all know what happens when we try to fool Mother Nature... cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
