There is a great discussion going on on the "cattle" forum over at http://www.homesteadingtoday.com/ about dung beetles. As you may or may not know, dung beetles are extremely good for the cycle of life within our pastures. A good gentleman and fellow homesteader on the forum posted a link to this article: http://www.dirtdoctor.com/view_question.php?id=1314 I thought I would post it here also, so that you might gain more insight on these little critters. To add fuel to already anti USDA mentality, the last paragraph in the article mentions something rather appalling, yet, not unexpected. Click the link and enjoy the read.
