MAB Clones

[DCC_Cattle]

Are there any calves out of the MAB clones yet? Curious as to how they compare to the original MAB.

I've had two so far both bull calves. A black baldy and a solid red today. Both were around 90 lbs out of Angus/Hereford cross cows. They both have good thickness, bone and hair. They seem to be just as good as any regular MAB's I've had over the last couple of years. Couldn't tell them apart if I didn't know they were out of MAB 1.

The clone didn't appeal to me in person but everyone has their own opinion. Waiting to see more progeny before I make the decision use him or not

Only have had one so far and it is only a few weeks old but when I compare it to my embryos that are the same age out of the original as of this age I would have a hard time telling you which was which. I also did a split flush with one straw of original and one of clone for the fall on a cow that is very consistent so I am anxious to see if I can see a large difference in full sib calves.

Awesome.  Was hoping someone would do this some time.  <rock>
