...midmorning the Masai pause. The cows graze, and the herdsmen shelter lazily under a grove of olive trees. Moses and Olentwala joke in Ol' Maa. The visitor stretches out and makes notes: "Moses has killed six lions, more than 60 buffalo. A buffalo wounded his brother last year, and he wants to kill lots of buffalo. He points to a buff. skull on the forest floor and says he killed that one there several months ago. Cows grazing all around me now.

Three of the new beefs are from crossbred animals. Brae comes from a conventional breed (Black Angus), but the herds are fed differently than most cattle.

...tending his flocks in a field. To produce a more perfect wool, some Australian farmers are keeping their sheep indoors and pampering them like Park Avenue poodles. They provide tires, logs and rubber balls to keep the sheep amused, feed them a vitamin-enriched mix instead of letting them graze, and even wrap them in cloaks to protect their fleece from dirt...
