[QUOTE="Herefords.US, post: 571209, member: 3972"] Back to cattle, the few sets of twins, that were LIKELY identical, that I've seen over the years usually had one of the two calves that was larger than the other - but I always figured that was from environmental forces. Genetically, they should have the same pool of genes to pass on to their progeny, but which ones will get passed on remains chance. I figure it would be the same for clones. You might breed a 24H clone to 8E, get 100 progeny and never get another bull as good as or better than Online in phenotype. George [/QUOTE]
