[QUOTE="Global ovine, post: 6651110, member: 493"] In defense of most research anywhere and in anything, scientific observation and analysis does take time and not rather instantly as we so regularly see in opinions posted on social media based on a single event where random dots are joined to become a conclusion. However leading exponents of advanced technologies are generally, and often impatiently, waiting on research to deliver the next phase of knowledge, as [USER=731]@easyram1[/USER] and [USER=72]@Tim W[/USER] suggests. This was certainly the situation we once had in NZ where the pastoral industry had a large part of it's incomes protected and the "maverick" breeders were the minority enthusiastically taking up technologies derived from recent research. It took an economic shock to make the larger part of the industry realise that their perceived leading breeders of the day were not offering the industry appropriate genetics to survive, let alone prosper. The mavericks won the market convincingly and rapidly over the next decade as the industry shifted to be rescued. Are we seeing a similar situation now in the UK? Are there enough mavericks across the many breeds now to be noticed as an alternative if profits fall further? Or, will the SBRT be a biennial talk fest to the converted? [/QUOTE]
