USDA Needs
Twin Heifers
For Research
About 20 pairs of identical
twin female dairy * calves
are needed by U. S. 'Depart
ment of Agriculture scien
tists, for use in management
and nutrition studies at the
Agricultural Research- Cen
ter, Be’tsville, Md.
The calves can be either
purebred or high-grade ani
mals of the five major dairy
breeds. They can be of any
age up to 20 months
The calves are being sought
primarily within a 250-mile
radius of Washington, D C.,
to hold shipping costs to a
minimum This area includes
Maryland, Virginia, West
Virginia, and southeast Penn
sylvania.
Owners willing to sell iden
tical-twin heifer calves that

Identical calves are useful
in research because of their
