'Flight Speed' of Cattle Determines Tastiness 25
mge writes "Despite all the nasty things people say about us, Australians are still at work breeding a tastier (and cheaper) cow for you... Beef Researchers at (where else but ?) the Beef Cooperative Research Centre, Australia have found that a) a cows temperament correlates with its taste, b) this is inheritable, and c) the temperament can be measured by its "flight speed". "Flight Speed" is the time it takes the animal to cover 1.6m after release from a weight crush, into an open pen. There's pictures and an explanation (PDF Sorry - Google version Google version in HTML) of how flight speed is measured at the BreedPlan site."

I've heard there's a similar phenomena that affects human beings.
That is, drivers going through construction zones with heavy traffic congestion and low speed limits tend to "slingshot" out at the end. They put the pedal to the metal and tend to exceed the speed limit even a bit more than usual after enduring these "cattle chutes".
Moo.
