Abstract

The professional lives of most members of this Association have by now been affected directly or indirectly by embryo transfer in cattle, so it seems fitting that we should not let the golden anniversary of the collection of the first bovine embryo pass without note. The recovery was made in 1930 and published the following year, first by Hartman, Lewis, Miller & Swett, and then again by Miller, Swett, Hartman and Lewis. This will not be the first appreciation of the event for, within two years of its accomplishment, the achievement was compared to the climbing of the Matterhorn.
