Another idea for Philly animals...I did not k ow until recently (while taking a large animal medicine class) that Brahmin is an actual breed of beef cattle and isn't really that common in the eastern US (its normally Jersey and Holstein over here) so I was thinking that maybe the Amish have kept from being horribly mutated by drinking the milk of a new breed of cow descended from those two... There could be some form of foliage in the area that the cattle eat that negates radiation, kinda like the Punga fruit from Point Lookout... So they raise herds of these cows, and their milk (or possibly the bacteria in the milk, or antibodies made from the cows immune system due to the radiation they've been exposed to for hundreds of years) helps to remove radiation since they won't want to use rad-away since they won't trust anything from pre-war.

We use Jerseys, Angus, and Herefords, especially a hybrid Angus/Herefords. But that makes sense. Brahmin milk is like a natural radaway anyway, isn't it?
