[QUOTE="Anguscollegekid, post: 361369, member: 6088"] I sure hope not! I'd prefer to raise them myself than push a button, and think of not having any genetic progress if we just cloned what we had. Think if cloning had started in the 50's and that was it-we'd still have little short, 900 pound cattle. You'll need adequate growth and fast growth, but it is still far less efficient to feed an animal to 1400+ pounds than one that will finish at 12-1300, and you don't get paid for daylight under the belly anyway. The moderate framed animals can begin finishing sooner and there's less bone, hide, etc. to throw away which decreases cutability anyway. [/QUOTE]
