day to see a calf that had no tail and
looked like deer. Now, as to when this
calf lost its tail we don't know. because 1t
was born that way. So say all that
know it's history, and We believe 1t be-

has it a tail-bone. Its backbone does not
extend to the rear farther than the place
where the hip joints join. II is a heifer
