Summary In contrast to sheep and goats, chronic and acute anemia induced by bleeding does not appear to alter hemoglobin types in cattle. Three adult cattle twins of type A and two non‐twin calves of type AB sustained anemias with hemoglobin levels of 80 % and 50 % of normal without the appearance of a new type. In addition, no changes in the chimeric red cell mixtures were observed in the twins.
