That ban was lifted several years ago. At that time milk nor meat was able to be sold from a clone. ManOMan was the only bull that was cloned that the studs pushed much semen on around here. Several bulls were cloned. Genomic hit right after that. Generation intervals are so short now cloning has been left in the dust. Well, that and the fact it didn't work so well.

I suspect the highest actual production will come from a cow that milks herself in a robot 5 or 6 times a day, every time she gets up to go eat, and has 50# in her udder, and nobody wants to mess with a good thing and get her pregnant.

When Starbuck was cloned..his semen could not be sold here...only elsewhere ..like South America. So when did it become legal to sell semen from a son of a clone of Apple's for example ?

Isn't it both amazing and scary that cloning is almost an outdated part of the technology that is in use today? 20 years ago we were scratching our heads over Dolly the sheep. Now with some less hair I'm curious what it will be like in 20 or 30 years. Makes me want to stick around just to see what happens next.
Sure

These 70k# cows should be cloned. They’re feed conversion is…… unbelievable?

Congratulations to the cow and to the family. I don't think there is any funny business with these guys. Lots of people say straight arrow type of family. Records are made to be broken. What's the next step? I don't. Where will it max out? I don't know. One thing I'm sure of, it takes along time to run 100k through a garden hose. GO GENOMICS!!!

I don't think anyone should waste much time paying attention to these records. If the media suddenly stopped following this rat race, I would predict the top records being made might even decrease!

one thing is for sure, if we have 90,000 to 100,000 records they won't be from the little coarse thick bubble udder cows that the genetic people seem to think we should we should be breeding for.

The real question here is, if anyone really cares??? Before genomics there was probably more cheating done to manufacture indexes, but now, very few people in the genetics world care if a cow makes 25K or 50K. And,if it matters, we now have herd averages over 40K, so records over 80K in the not to distant future are possible.

3x a day milking, 1 time a day testing. Anything is possible. We need more checking on high record cows.

I think 90,000 to 100,000 will be reached in 20 years.
