Dairyman Poth's original story of his cow Alta Clover's bearing six calves at once was a good one and he is still sticking to it, but he has no witnesses to the multiple birth...
...Secretary of Agriculture, onetime (1925-29) Governor of West Virginia and a cattleman himself, declared that the largest birth he ever heard of was quadruplets. Benjamin F. Creech, animal husbandry expert at the University of West Virginia, said he thought quintuplets was the most prodigious previous cow birth.

George de Vries' 1,000-cow Vitamin D Dairy in Norwalk near Los Angeles was strike-bound by C. I. O.'s Dairy Workers' Union. Plodding up & down the picket line led by a striking herdsman was a placid Jersey cow bearing the placard: I WON'T BE MILKED BY A SCAB...
