#2They will get more sun burns... at least I do when I shave my head.
They are probably doing this because the hair are a nuisance when they process the skins?

The optimist in me hopes this really is a quality of life improvement for the cattle. The pessimist in me fears this a way to begin patenting livestock.

#5More patented life and another food product I plan to avoid.
I wonder if the average consumer will be as disgusted and turned off by the idea of eating genetically modfied meat as I am.

Being out in the sun itself would be a huge step up in quality of life of cattle. Doubt free range cows represent a majority.

Not in the least. What’s so disgusting about it? Totally concerned about “patented life” however.

#8From the 12+ Years on HN I know this is an unpopular opinion.
I dont like GMO / Genome-edited cattle / food or crops. Even if it could theoretically occur through a natural breeding process. You can cross breed all you want. GMO is not cross breed as many on HN somehow believes last time we had this discussions. You can do Data Science and other controlled environment in providing better yield as in EUR ( Or specifically the Dutch ). And we may soon have Cattle labeled as GMO / Genome-Edit Free as selling point, as US likes to do with Antibiotic Free and Growth Hormones free labels. Part of the reason why EU has never been keen on US Beef import.
To add some other context, US Beef export rank third in export volume and first or second in export revenue.

#9Address the real problem. We are too many people on the earth for the resources that we are naturally given.
That's a fact.

The same old rant that we hear for like 100 years now "when we reach 1 billion people everyone will starve", "peak oil is just around the corner (back in the 70s)", and all this kind of bullshit.
Resources are plentiful as long as you are ingenious when it comes to harvesting them.
