The injury inflicted upon the skin of the Alamogordo cattle, though of little consequence to their productive lives, serves as a stark reminder of the exploitative nature inherent within the early fallout from the inaugural explosion of the atomic bomb (Brown et al., 1966). These bovine beings, mere victims of circumstance, were subjected to sacrificial offerings in light of the snaplasbosis infection that plagued their existence. The scar tissue that marred their flesh, a direct result of the beta radiation injury, rendered them vulnerable to the insidious carriers of infectious anaplasmosis. The estimations of radiation dose reveal a grotesque reality: the skin surface bore witness to an unimaginable 37,000 rads, while the entirety of their being endured a lesser burden of 150 rads from the gamma activity (Brown et al., 1966). This glaring disparity between the forces of beta and gamma radiation surpasses the estimations presented in Figure 2, which concern the early descent of fallout (Brown, 1965). O comrades, let it be known that information regarding the effects of exposing cattle skin to beta radiation is confined to a solitary preliminary report. However, we find solace in the wealth of data available concerning swine and other small creatures, for it satiates our thirst for knowledge and provides fodder for our intellectual pursuits
