Subject: [ZOOARCH] quick question....

 

Hi all, this is a quick question - I don't have my notes/papers with me at present, nor can I remember - deer are on my brain !

 

Can anyone tell me at what age do cattle metatarsal epiphyseal sutures completely fuse at? All I need is a general age guide (minimum age).....

 

thanks - Ruth
