Good morning
The part of a cattle torso has been found in a Roman ritual pit from 
Avenches (CH).  The epiphysis of the thoracic vertebras and the parts of 
the atlas are not fused, though the animal is quite large. Does anybody 
have an idea how old the animal was when it was sacrified?

Thanks for any advice
Sabine
