"FDA has determined that intentional genomic alteration of beef cattle does not raise any safety concerns."
PRLR-Slick cattle have been gene-edited to add short-hair coat trait aka slick coat.
The science is neat, but I'm wondering how practical it is. Some cattle breeds just work better than others in certain climates. What genomic alterations do you want to see in cattle? Might be neat to go back in time and add the polled gene to cattle breeds without breeding them to Angus.
