Red heifers are a dime a dozen in many parts of the world.

Not in Israel, apparently. Supposedly a pure red heifer has not been born in Israel for a very long time (I can't recall if it's since the destruction of the Temple in 70 AD, or even before that).

The appearance of a pure red heifer has long been taken as a messianic sign. There was big excitement a few years back, when one was supposedly born. Hopes were dashed when they found a few white hairs.

Here is one link which purports to explain the basic idea of the red heifer. There are a lot of end-times sites that mention it, and I didn't much care to wade through them. I have no idea if this is an accurate site or not.

Here is the story about the last candidate, from about 1997. A few white hairs, and some black eyelashes saved her bacon, so to speak.

The Red Heifer was actually born over 50 years ago...
