[QUOTE="plbcattle, post: 209693, member: 171"] there are more cloned cattle out there than you think. The dairy and longforn people have been doing it since the 80's. A huge angus outit did a lot of it about 10-15 years ago. I know the brangus breed has some people that have done it and have daughters in production. I think most have the wrong reason to clone. It is to get a genetic exact of teh animal being cloned. Not to produce a similar looking animal but a exact genetic match. I am probably going to have a cow that will go down as the most influencial cow in our breed cloned. she is 16 and has generated more $ than any cow in our breed three fold. I will use this cow as a donor and it will just be a continuation of her clone. If you look at what a top donor sells (That may or may not be proven)for $15,000-well over $150,000. If you can get a clone of one of the top animals for $7000-$15,000/ I don't think there is much of a decision to be made there. I don't know what is being god about remaking an animal. I bet in 10 years colning will be as mainstream as ET work. [/QUOTE]
