Thanks so much for the ping! Very interesting.

Here’s one of the comments I agree with— below the article:

[[ I am skeptical, and not speculating. Having grown up on a farm with cattle, horses, sheep, and goats, I’ve had occasion to closely watch grazing habits for hours a day, and days on end over all seasons. My analysis is they tend to graze in such a way as to keep the sun and wind at their backs...sun most importantly. This to more clearly see what they are eating...and most do look very closely at their fodder (even sheep). Upon reaching the Northern end of their range (Northern hemisphere, obviously), the herd turns and grazes (or simply walks) rapidly to the Southern end (more or less), then repeats. My family property has a 80KV power transmission line running through one corner; I’ve never seen any change of grazing behavior under or near the line.

I’d seriously doubt any of the “researchers” cited have ever spent a day in the countryside. Not to diminish the value of Google Earth...but how may “community” posts have you seen attributing preposterous attributes or motives to perfectly natural structures? I’ve seen many; this may be another. ]]
