Interesting #Radiolab on #electricity + cattle, a follow up on a #Zetland piece.
I remain a bit sceptical about the idea of stray voltage affecting cows. It seems very implausible and there are surely other factors to consider. But a quick web search gives lots of hits.
It may be a thing and it may also be a case of mass hysteria among farmers (the mobile phone towers and cancer scare also sprang to mind). And it might be a third effect. Or all three?
But I think it's going to be something we hear more of as the #GreenTransition gets going...
