Cloning???

[Angus In Texas]

Does anyone know how the American Angus Association deals with registering cloned animals. I don't have any but I saw where a clone to 2424 sold a couple weeks ago and it got me to thinking. Because you wouldn't have an AI certificate for the mating and it would be an embryo transfer of sorts. Just curious.

Thanks Frankie, somehow I overlooked that in the rules.
