Just have one question if heat wave is dead how could you prove it or if he is alive how could  you prove it?  Because he has been cloned so many times. You could not us DNA. If you look at pictures he is all crippled up so how would he jump or how would they collect him. I am not trying to start anything just wanted to ask that question and see what people thought

I would have to say that it's a pretty good indication there's something wrong when the price of semen on him is $300.

You could ask him who is My Turns father - if he doesn't know it could be Heatwave ;)

I have noticed in all the ads it says "heatwave or clone".  I have to wonder why they don't give credit where credit is due with "heatwave 6" or heatwave 1"  or "orginal heatwave"

I'm just saying....

Giving credit by passing on unreliable information from jocks about which clone or the original a calf was sired by would less informative than just being honest and saying Heat Wave or clone.

Heck, people lie about the sire and call their good ones by other bulls Heat Waves so they can sell them.  Expecting accuracy in the sires of the actual clone calves is giving steer traders too much credit.
