WMW

How many clones does WMW have? Is it only one?

I think just 1.  I have never seen a pic.

Does a pic really matter?  I mean he's genetically identical>>  If they haven't promoted a pic.. I'd sure hate to see what the bull looks like..

98% or so identical.  Would have really liked to have seen a pic using todays grooming technologies and feed supplements.... maybe to see how much "better" he may look all clipped up. <cowboy>

Here's how I look at that 98%...

If you had a steer that was 98% the same as the steers that won L'ville, KC, or Denver...  WOULD YOU SHOW THEM?

If you had a steer that was 98% the same as the steers that won L'ville, KC, or Denver...  WOULD YOU SHOW THEM?  

not if someone had one that was 99%
not if someone had one that was 99.9%
not if someone had one that was 99.99%
not if someone had one that was 99.999%

I don't think you quite understand genetics, or maybe not at all.

For example, humans are genetically 99% identical. The difference in skin color, size, weight, eye color, hair color, the size of you foot are all variations of that 1% of our genetic makeup. There are several studies out that have different results, some say we are as high as 99.9% genetically identical with others saying we may be as low as 96% identical. Other studies show that humans and monkeys are something like 95% genetically identical.

Moral of the story, 1% of a genetic makeup, whether it be human, bovine, or everything in between, can be extremely diverse.

I would show a steer that was 98% phenotypically identical to a winner of one of those major shows.  I would be stoked also if the other 2% made him better than those winners. (clapping)

I would think that someone would want to try to get a good picture of the clone as the main picture we see of WMW isn't that great.

I agree with you
