Monopoly clone question

[ferkj]

I saw some Monopoly1 semen bring over 100.00/straw in an online the other day. The other Monopoly clones 4 & 5 are 25.00 bulls. Question is why the difference in price.  I can see original vs clone but the science should say clone 1,4,5 & on and on should be genetic identicals.  Or am I missing something.

Monopoly 4 is making some great calves.

That is what I was told 4 and is there a 5? Thought for sure the folks told me those two were the best clones thus far.

Yes there is a 5. I don't know about him but 4 from what I have heard is throwing the best calves out of all the clones.

Exactly same we heard. I saw some very nice 4's.

I've been told to watch semen quality on #4 & just saw 5,6,& 7 within the last 6 weeks @ Hawkeye Breeders, Iowa.

I wonder how long #4 has been that way. We had good results getting cows to stick in 2014 but AI-ing in 2015 we had mixed results.

Matt lautner just posted his 2016 spring prices and monopoly 4's price is "ask".  What's up there?
