Same reason the original Heat Wave is $250 to $300. Heat Wave 1 was the first clone and has been out alot longer than the other clones, don't know if he is dead or not, that could have something to do with it. But with him being out alot longer, there has been alot more calves from him than other clones which I'm sure he has more show winners being older, winning means more money, nothing more. Same DNA on original or any other clone. Thats why I pick a clone for $30.
