I thought 6 took a cool picture, but i have no experience with breeding any HW clones.

I used Heatwave 5, was told by Earl Souva that he has the best quality semen of all the clones that he has collected.

To me it doesn't matter which clones semen I get as long as the quality is good. Which is a HUGE problem in the clubby deal....especially with certain owners. We test a straw of every batch of semen we get from some simply due to past experiences.

Ok thanks everyone.....I guess semen quality is the reason for the different prices. I cant see buying any of low quality even being an option. I just noticed at different suppliers, they offered different clones...thats what started the question in my head.

I used HW 6.
5 straws 2 calves.
1 Heifer turned out pretty good. She is sound stocky build has a nice udder and delivered her first calf unassisted. She is milking just fine and the calf is nice calf.
