Making Machines of Animals: The International Livestock Exposition

＂The author tells the story of how two different groups of actors, Chicago meatpackers and land grant university professors, significantly influenced the trajectory of 20th-century agriculture. These actors worked in concert to exterminate ＂scrub＂ livestock in favor of a eugenics-driven ＂improved＂ animal via their establishment of the Chicago International Livestock Exposition＂--
