[QUOTE="Baylorcattleguy, post: 209536, member: 2431"] This is intrigueing to me and I don't claim to have all the answers. I don't see how cloning is much more playing God than ET or even AI when you get right down to it. Where it could be beneficial I see is more on the female side versus bull. Say a small-medium size breeder has one outstanding female in their herd or they save up and go spend the money to buy a good one. It sounds like for a reasonable price (atleast in the Angus world) you could have it cloned for multiple copies and have a pasture full of your best cow. It seems it could raise the performance and consistency of your herd w/o the hit or miss of buying at multiple breeder sales and not truly knowing what you have. The price quoted was $15k for the first copy, $12.5K for the 2nd, $10k for the 3rd, $7500 for the 4th and $5k for each remaining copy wanted. So for $67,500 you could have 10 copies of the best genetics in your herd. I find all this fascinating. Just my $.02 [/QUOTE]
