RE: [SPAM] Re: [RC] [RC] Cloning - heidiI would disagree with this statement. Unfortunately, the high cost of cloning may NOT mean that the best PERFORMANCE traits are passed on, but rather the traits of where the most money is at, which for many US breeds tends to be the showring. I would hate to see HYPP positive horses cloned, that is certainly not a desirable breed trait that should be passed on, but HYPP N/H and even H/H horses often do very well in the QH halter ring and there's a lot of $$ there. Or what about the latest "fashionable" Arab TREND being duplicated and passed on and on. You are right on the mark, Crysta. The cost and the quality are totally independent factors, and in many cases, it would be the extremes that would be cloned and perpetuated, not the quality core individuals of the breed, if clones were allowed to be registered.
