What I would like to see a break down by animal mass. For meat production the US produces almost equivalent amounts of beef and pork. But the US also has about 10 million dairy cows. The FDA report is for food producing animals – which i

We switched to using Elm for our front end. One of the complaints about Elm is doesn't get upgrades very often (like years in between). This has been a feature for us – we don't need to be upgrading or fixing for upgrades or lear
