Abstract
A local veterinarian sent in this interesting case history of a free-martin Holstein heifer. At two years of age, this heifer appeared to have a normal sexual cycle. She had been bred six or eight times and still came in heat regularly. This heifer showed no masculinity or coarseness as do many free-martins.
