USDA Needs
Identical Twin
Dairy Heifers
Several pairs of identical
twin female dairy calves are
needed by U S Department of
Agriculture scientists, for use
in management and mastitis
studies at the Agricultural rie
search Center, Beltsville, Md.
The calves can be either
purebred or high-grade ani
mals of the five major dairy
breeds. They can be any age up
to 14 months
The calves are being sought
primarily within a 2SO-mile
radius of Washington, D. C , to
hold shipping costs *o a mini
mum This area includes Mary
land, Virginia, West Virginia,
and southeastern Pennsylvania,
Owners willing to sell identi
cal-twiu heifer calves that meet
USDA specifications are re
quested to write Dr. R. D.
Plowman, Dairy Cattle Re
search Branch, Annual Hus
bandry Research Division, U S.
Department of Agriculture,
Beltsville, Md An inspector
will be sent to check the califs
before purchase.
Identical-twin calves are
rare They develop from a
single cell and are always the
same sex The twins look re
markably alike and react in.
much the same manner Their
markings frequently are re
peated on the same or oppo
site sides
Dairymen -within 350 miles
of Washington, D C , who
find identical-twip fennie cal
-.es in their herds maj be able
to make a substantial contri
bution to research tha' benefits
the dairy industry.
Giving cattle a period ot
time to settle down after sort
ing will facilitate the loading
chores and do much to avoid
bruise injury, points out Live
stock Conservation, Inc. Many
cattle feedeis do the sorting
job early enough to permit
their shipment to rest over
night.
