Calves Cloned by Largest Breeding Service in Wisconsin
Two Holstein heifer calves, Fusion and Copy, were born as first applications of a cloning-like genetic process developed by American Breeders Service and University of Wisconsin Madison scientists. The method, intended to produce identical cattle sets, involves transferring nuclei from embryos into enucleated eggs and implanting them in cows. ABS aims to improve livestock efficiency, with commercial use years away according to president Robert E. Walton.

Washington officials welcomed Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega's planned Moscow visit as a potential lever to revive support for Contra aid. The White House indicated it hopes the trip mirrors a 1981 event that helped restore funding, while public comment remained cautious. The peace accord and a Sept. 30 expiration of current Contra aid complicate prospects, with officials noting humanitarian aid as the most likely short-term outcome.

The Agriculture Department seeks public input on a 16 month recognition program for farms held in the same family for at least two centuries. Mizell notes the effort fits the bicentennial under way through 1988, with councils in each state issuing inscribed certificates to qualifying families.
