[QUOTE="regolith, post: 1138620, member: 9267"] Got our threads crossed... You lot were talking about cloning deceased cows when I butted in with that comment. You've got a live cow and are able to do MOET in the usual manner if you want to further her genetics. The egg harvesting is something you might want to use if your best cow drops dead and you can get her ovaries out and bury the rest of her. The 'lump of flesh on ice' isn't a bad idea either but I think it needs to be in nitrogen, a home freezer isn't quite cold enough. This is part of why I say if you've got a good young cow to go ahead and do it... yes, you might spend a lot of money and be disappointed with the results, but you won't have to regret not doing it later. A few months back I shipped the best Jersey I've ever owned without doing ET work on her, ask me what I think of that in ten years time, because right now I don't know how far I am from breeding another that good the slow way. I've also just lost a young cow whose genetics I really wanted to retain in the herd, who has never had a heifer. [/QUOTE]
