FORT COLLINS, Colo. — Some
of the most valuable cattle in the na
tion will be able to conceive as many
as 15 to 20 times a year, instead of
only once, because of an embryo
transfer program that is underway at
Colorado State University.
Veterinarian Peter Elsden said
the university has been taking part
in embryo transfers involving farms
in Kansas, Idaho and California.
Negotiations also are under way to
sell Holstein embryos to Eurofoods,
a firm in Sweden. American Hol-
steins are considered the best dairy
cows in the world, according to the
veterinarian.
“Colorado dairy farmers will have
a good chance to Sell embryos from
their better cows,” Elsden said.
“There are about 3,000 dairy cows
in the Fort Collins area alone.”
He said several Eastern Euro
pean countries also are interested in
buying dairy cow embryos from the
CSU transfer unit.
Elsden recently carried a test
tube containing an embryo in his
pocket on a 600-mile flight from
Kansas City, Mo., to Denver. The
test tube contained the embryo of a
valuable Holstein dairy cow from
the ranch of Kansas dairy farmer
George Pretz.
The CSU veterinarian said em
bryo transfers in cattle allow prime
cows to conceive 5 or 20 embryos,
which then are placed in surrogate
mothers that are not as valuable.
“Pretz had aleady obtained a con
tract from a Canadian farmer to sell
the potential calf for $10,000,”
Elsden said. “I put the test tube in
my pocket so my body would act as a
incubator.
“When I returned at midnight,
we transferred the embryo into a re
cipient cow (owned by CSU) that
had been in heat the same time as
the natural mother.”
An embryo can live in the test-
tube medium for 18 to 20 hours. Re
covery from the Holstein cow took
about one hour and traveling time
was six hours. A pregnancy resulted
in the recipient cow, and Pretz now
can breed his valuable Holstein
again.

Santa johs scarce in Lincoln, Nel
United Press International
LINCOLN, Neb.—If you are an
unemployed fat man with bright red
cheeks and can remain jolly despite
your job prospects, you had better
not come to Lincoln in search of a
Santa Claus job for the holidays.
A recent check of major depart
ment stores, the Salvation Army and
the Chamber of Commerce showed
St. Nicholas would only be ho-ho-
hoing at the Gateway Shopping
Center and at the downtown
Brandeis-Lincoln store. The two lo
cations are a convenient 50 city
blocks apart.
“Once it was popular to have a
Santa, but then there were so many
it made it confusing for the kids,” a
Miller & Paine spokesman said.
A spokesman for J.C. Penney said
the store apparently doesn’t need
one, since last year “there was a
Santa a few doors down.”
The Chamber of Commerce said
it had a Santa last year at its Christ-
: onlyil 11
lie
mas Fantasy Land, “but
three or four people came
night,” a spokeswoman said
said the Fantasy Land flop Ml
couple thousand dollars” and
year the money would be putlol
ter use: Holiday music will bep.;
in the downtown area.
A spokesman for a city em|
ment agency specializing in tei
rary services said there have k
no calls so far this year for
