Thanks Jack! That explanation really cleared it up for me! That makes a lot more sense, especially with the farming explanation. I was caught up with thinking how if you’re a dairy farmer (I’m working as a milker this summer on a friend’s farm) you don’t get to set your schedule, your cows do. I guess you could just say that dairy farmers work for their cows as much as the cows work for you.

Regarding fences in weeds – In my experience, much of the problem can be solved by using a higher quality fence charger. Modern low impedance chargers actually do very well in heavy vegetation if it is not too wet. The chinese made chargers from popular brands you see in the store vastly overstate their power ratings and often do not have ideal pulse lengths. Check out Parmak chargers.

Don’t assume that the fence is not working just because grass is touching it. Buy a good meter and test the fence – if it is within acceptable shock levels then leave it alone.

Another good option is to wire your fence such that you can control individual strands. During times of the year when vegetation is high you might convert the bottom wire to a ground, or disconnect it.

Finally, if the fence is to control grazing animals and the grass is getting too high, you might evaluate if you can optimize the grazing strategy. Typically the animals think the “grass is greener” on the other side of the fence and try to eat up very close to it, or under it. Perhaps they can be paddocked in a way to encourage them to eat down the grass more.

This year study came out strongly suggesting vaccines were harmful, but I have been waiting for it to be reported on by mainstream sources. Crickets. The study may not be the end all on the issue, but it marks the first time the whole series is match against the ultimate placebo of no vaccine at all. In the past the package inserts if they had study information would show that vaccines where compared against other vaccines.

Here is the package insert for MMR: http://www.merck.com/product/usa/pi_circulars/m/mmr_ii/mmr_ii_pi.pdf . No placebo is noted any more. Also very few numbers are given related to adverse reaction, so anyone looking at this is going to have a hard time doing any kind of risk benefit analysis.
