I was at a dinner at a working cattle ranch outside of Denver not long ago, but it was a ranch with a difference. Rather than raising cattle for the table, the business raised breeding stock and sent animals and other products, like embryos, all over the world. Every animal on the ranch had its genetic makeup tracked in a database and a unique ear tag that told something about it. I thought it was cool the way this business applied science to the ancient practice of animal husbandry. Not everything was about genetics, though — some of it was more about psychology.
