Cloned Steer News Conference, number 83
Abstract
Scientists Dr. Jonathan Hill and Dr. Mark Westhusin at Texas A&M University have successfully cloned what is believed to be the first calf cloned from an adult bull, which is also the oldest animal ever cloned. A 21-year-old Brahman from Ralph and Sandra Fisher of La Grange, Texas. The cloned calf ‘Second Chance’ not only looks just like his father, but also has his father’s exact DNA. Their research could have enormous implications in the beef cattle industry and in the future applications of cloning technology.
