[QUOTE="J+ Cattle, post: 1703835, member: 4063"] I'm sure that everything that is being done is with the best of intentions but the horned/polled gene is just a "proof of concept" to what is to come next. Did you know that there's a company that raised salmon completely isolated from the ocean, most salmon farming is done in the ocean but this company isn't allowed to do it in the ocean because their salmon are GMO. They have edited the gene for growth, actually my understanding is that they have replaced the gene with a gene from another species of fish to make it grow faster. [URL unfurl="true"]https://aquabounty.com/our-salmon/why-aquabounty-salmon[/URL] How long before they are doing this with cattle, maybe they have already tried and we don't know it yet. With top EPD bulls bringing in big money how long before someone edits a few genes to have the new best bull that will make them lots of money selling semen? [/QUOTE]
