When it comes to breeding cattle, Israel’s bulls are the best according to the results of a “best sperm contest” for bullocks recently held in Poland. The Israeli breeders topped those of eight other participating countries, the Israel Cattleraisers Association reported at its biennial conference in Kibbutz Shefayim yesterday. The result was that Israel is receiving orders from many countries for bullocks and female calves. The cattlemen said members of their association exported 500 cows to Egypt in 1983 and 1,250 calves last year. They hope to sell 4,500 head of cattle to Egypt shortly.
