Thanks. Someday that's going to bite me in the ass. :)
I used to be involved with a sheep study. It was longitudinal; we were studying the effects of an implanted atrial defibrillator over a seven-year period. Each sheep cost us a quarter million dollars a year to keep fed and healthy. We had two dozen of them.

Were you feeding them caviar and Dom Perignon?! I hope they got some good data. Nude mice and rats which have compromised immune systems are the most costly ones I've worked with. They need a special room, and I think they run a several dollars a day per animal.
