Now Tom that sounds like such a good idea.
Why did we in UK ever contribute to CJD, scrappie, mad cow disease, by
feeding animals semi processed dead animal offal. I can see a simple (
perhaps overly simple ) reasoning in feeding cattle with wine lees
Is it in fact done in the heavy wine making areas? France, Italy --und so
weiter ( and so on ) It surely must be -- although I cannot say that I have
ever researched the subject! I expect that it is used as a very substantial
"manure" --- but the thought of feeding it to cattle seems so sensible. A
natural product that is already partially digested!

I am sure that some erudite farmer will tell me why I am wrong. But it has
got to be better than processed cows hasn't it!
