Re: Previous poll results
Latest poll is interesting, so far there are 22 people or 46% who vote nay to the statement 'Breed for type and milk will follow.' In my opinion that is a far bigger percentage than you would expect given the general bent of the postings on Cowtalk. (I may be wrong.) There would be appear to be a sizable 'silent' block of people who do not necessarily follow the 'fanciers' chorus. More's the pity they do not enter the cyclic debates when they occur.
