Rosie the Red Heifer

Rosie was a red heifer born on Bill Henderson's farm in the U.S. state of Arkansas.

The Reconstruction Alliance of Israel had heard of her birth and sent Yitzhak Avigad to examine the animal. It was determined that the farm was never an Indian burial ground and so not ritually polluted. After a thorough investigation, he determined that Rosie was completely red, without any white patches and so agreed to buy the cow.
