You know what I'm going to do, talk to my dad who IS ACTUALLY IN THE BEEF BUSINESS on what he feels the market is doing and whether or not the potential for cloning would be good for the farm, not rely on a bunch of links.
Personally, I get beef for free and I know exactly where and when it was born, what it ate, what medicines (if any) were given and how and where it was processed and I like it like that. Now, if only I could talk the husband into taking over when dad and the guys retire... |
